Brian goes into detail, about how the brazillian constitution outlines that land has to have a social function and the whole landless workers movement, so it is literally a constitutional right and here is the archived article if you’d like to endure it yourself but just wanna say, the way brazillian agriculture business works means that while big farmers pay almost no taxes due to subsidies, most of what they produce, generally the better part of what they produce is sold internationally, while the landless workers are smaller farmers, and smaller and familiar farmers produce 70% of what brazillians eat, also a lot of that land that these bigger farmers have are literally stolen public lands so i don’t know it kinda isn’t even THEIR LAND

    well if no one's using it why shouldn't they. As the diggers pointed out unused land and hungry people is so immoral it's actually just stupid

      this also happens on a urban level, like there is also Landless urban workers movement that has ties to the rural one, there should not be empty unused land in cities with all the infrastructure already in place when people are sleeping on the streets or having to live on edge of the urban space and they have taken over some buildings over the years
