Socioeconomic expropriations (Landnahme) have a direct impact on democracy and the processes of struggle of the working class, precisely because they impose a certain common sense and normalization of social relations, which, according to Marx and Engels, act in the "taking" of social consciousness.

This article is an ethnography of a student protest against a Finnish university's plans to give up 25 percent of its campus buildings until 2030.
