- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

Being forced to have nothing but air between them and brown people.
Whatever happened to the Statue of Liberty's eternal welcome to immigrants of all kinds, and the very real fact that the USA was indeed built by such folks?
Time to tear down the Statue, amirite..?
the statue is a hidden giant assassin robot from the france, rick and morty.
Unfortunately, that was mostly propaganda used to entice the vulnerable into a system designed by the owning-class in order to exploit them for their labor and treat them as second class citizens.
The US was built by such folk in the same way that black folk worked plantations down South. Sadly, just because people did the labor doesn't mean they have any rights to the product of that labor unless allowed by the whims of owners.
mostly having to be in the vicinity of brown people, and people of darker or not ghostly skin.
