    In a colonial context, it's preventing rich foreigners from buying up all the capital in your country and funneling out the wealth.

    However, the US is not in a colonial context.

      eh, you could argue a lot of american land is colonized by other americans. wealth funnels out of poor neighborhoods into rich ones, and pigs are just the occupying army stopping people from restoring themselves. However, it definitely isn't a foreign colonization. Although the proportion of european descendants with power over POC either native american or otherwise also sort of works here. But it is a loose idea and blocking land purchase wouldn't stop that.

        For sure. Regarding internal colonies, the case for land & capital redistribution becomes very clear
