*QUOTE*

Capitalism without a highly coercive state is an impossibility, has never existed, its very existence requires the dispossession of the many by the few, ie their separation from the means of producing survival needs. This has been its reality since its very start, the Enclosures of late medieval England, without which the system would have not even come into being. (911 Truth's Jeff S.)
