OBTAINING PRIVATE PROPERTY AT A DISCOUNT

Any attempt to obtain the institution of private property by argument rather than by violence is merely an attempt to obtain private property at a discount.

I would go so far as that it is an act of fraud: an attempt to obtain the right of private property at a discount by means of argument, while requesting an involuntary transfer of communal property rights by depriving others of their communal property rights so that we may possess private property rights on our own.

At best we buy those rights with a promise of cheaper goods and more pacifist life from those who would begrudgingly surrender their communal property rights in exchange for private property rights.

And at best, those who favor communal property will fail to breach their contract and restore communal property rights – a claim on our property – as soon as they can find a way to do so.

The majority of humans prefer the institution of communal property. They demonstrate that they do. They may demonstrate that they prefer the market for goods and services provided by private property. But they do not prefer the responsibilities they must bear in exchange for private property.

Private property is the product of violence and the willingness to use violence.
