While you cannot intrinsically possess a right, you do intrinsically possess abilities. One of them that is the most decisive is violence.

I registered the propertarian domains and trademarks for a reason: to differentiate between empty moralism of Rothbardian aggression, and the rational and empirical dependence exclusively upon property. 🙂

DRAFT: RULES OF ETHICAL ARGUMENT
1) The set of positive or negative statements alone is not a sufficient description of any moral rule.
If you cannot state both the positive and negative assertions you do not yet understand that which you claim.
Examples:
The right of association (positive) and the right of exclusion (negative).
The right to property (positive), the prohibition on free riding(negative).
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you (positive), do not unto others that you do not want done to you (negative).
2) If you cannot state your argument in operational language then you do not understand it sufficiently to make a truth claim.
Nothing “is”. The verb to-be is used to obscure one’s causal ignorance – man acts. Nothing “is” independent of action describing its conception.
3) Cooperation vs Free Riding.
(Undone:)
4) Morals: Moral rules prohibit free riding. Rules enumerating criminal, ethical, moral, conspiratorial and conquest prohibitions constitute the sets of prohibitions on free riding from the most individual and direct to the most collective and indirect.
5) Fully informed voluntary consent to transfer, is the only test of moral action. Any action causing transfer (imposing cost) without fully informed voluntary consent is immoral – a violation of the prohibition on free riding that is the necessary precondition for rational mutually beneficial cooperation.
6) Exchanges (production): fully informed, mutually productive, warrantied, voluntary exchange exclusive of negative externality is the only test of moral exchange.
These are six of the laws of ethical argument.
(Undone: add property / commons )

I agree to cooperate with you as long as it is not harmful to do so. I dont even require that it is profitable. It just cannot subject me to effort, expenditure or loss.
But parasitism is not something I agree to.
And progressivism is parasitism.

Rothbardian ethics are all well and good if you want to be a parasite within a high trust low transaction cost society – and harm it in exchange. Or you want to construct a low trust society with high transaction costs that allow you to be one of many parasites.
But rothbardianism legalizes parasitism under high transaction costs, that are WORSE than the parasitism of the state and its low transaction costs.
Rothbardianism is worse than statism.

Free Riding Isn't An Exception, It's the Rule.
FREE RIDING IS NOT AN EXCEPTION IT IS THE RULE. IT IS NATURAL TO MAN. PROPERTY IS THE EXCEPTION. ITS UNNATURAL. AND CREATING THE INSTITUTIONAL HABIT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY IS AN ACTIVE NOT PASSIVE PROJECT. [Y]a’ gotta’ understand: aristocracy is an activist form of defense. We evolved in a state of pervasive free riding. To create the institution of Property, you must deny people access to the fruits of your efforts except by voluntary exchange. To deny them access, you must use violence. You must first stop existing free riding. Then you must prevent future free riding. You cannot obtain liberty by pacifism, or reaction alone. Property requires activism. Because aggression against your property: the attempt to free ride upon your efforts, is not an exception – it is the RULE. Sorry. Aristocracy of the willing, for the willing.
