Property exists, no matter what you say, it will still exist. Our time, our bodies, our labor, and our ideas are all property. Take away a mans porperty and he does not exist. Therefore, the debate is about how much of it to take away.
But taking it away does not cause it to not exist, it simply means that someone else owns it. Does it really mater if he owns it, his boss owns it, or the government owns it, it can still be misused because the problem lies in humanity and we cannot give the property to an inanimate object. Anything that can conceptualize property has the same flaw.
Therefore, the only question is, who will abuse the property the most? In that way it is like the God question. Do we take responsibility for it ourselves or do we invent some imaginary being to do it for us. The imaginary "state" of socialism is simply an economic God. It can have no true existence so its clergy will be men just as corrupt as the rest of us, but likely worse, since power does not draw the cream of humanity it draws the worst of us... |
