The Blockian proviso mandates that no one precludes or forestalls anyone else in their land homesteading patterns such that they prevent them from homesteading virgin encircled land. Kinsella (2007, 2009A) takes issue with this position and likens it to the properly denigrated Lockean proviso. The present paper is an attempt to distinguish the two provisos one from the other, and defend the former from Kinsella’s critiques.
