““The ruling class is opposed to the lower class—that is, ‘closed’ to the outside—insofar as it ‘excludes, restricts, or makes admission conditional.’ It denies the lower class access to the ‘monopolized opportunities’ that positive law grants it—‘opportunities for the satisfaction of internal or external interests.’ When these opportunities are appropriated, they are called ‘rights,’ and when they are appropriated by inheritance, they are called ‘property.’ In other words: the concept of domination encompasses not only legal inequality but also economic exploitation based on ‘monopolized’ property rights.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)””
