"PRESCRIPTION. The manner of acquiring property by a long, honest, and uninterrupted possession or use during the time required by law. The possession must have been possessio longa, continua, et pacifica, nec sit ligitima interruptio, long, continued, peaceable, and without lawful interruption".
Adverse possession may legalize even clearly "taken" property, if at the time it was taken their was color of title in favor of the new possessor, and he has held it since with similar stipulations as with prescription. Again the reason being to prevent pettifogging over ancient titles in a manner that destroys all property. If you knew the first thing about actual law relating to property, as opposed to your ideology and your pretence that is rules such things, this would all be clear to you, and you'd see who is the "nut" here, for denying it.
And yes some modern witch hunts have clearly violated these settled laws. So have any number of other modern practices of robbery that proceed by the exact same mechanism - slander the just possessor, defile his name, then rob him before a poisoned jury. Which hasn't changed since the days of Nero and Caligula and is every bit as notorious and wrong when men do it today, as it was then.
You keep shifting the basis of your argument. I thought you wanted to discuss the morality of wealth, capital and the income derived from it.
Now all of a sudden we’re talking about the common law and equity. I’m well aware there exists established law on these issues. But law, as no doubt you are aware, does not necessarily coincide with morality. Law should grow out of morality, but it doesn’t always happen.
Other societies have had law quite different on these issues, without necessarily infringing on the natural laws of morality and ethics.
It is the height of cultural arrogance to assume that one’s own culture has expressed for all time the natural law, such that any differing from it must be immoral.
