Turning heads?

This message, in the form of a very similar graph, was a Reddit post a few months ago and ensured a long discussion where people were quoting all sorts of historical figures who claimed that land ownership was the key to all sorts of power.

I thought it was a fairly common theory.

A lot of modern liberalism is about hiding the brute calculus that underlies relations of property ownership. I'd love it if Marx became mainstream again without all the MLs and Stalinists ruining his ideas for everyone.

It was probably the same graph. This article was published Mar 25 - it says there's a followup coming, but I don't see any sign it's arrived.
