"when private property is refounded on the responsibility principle (or the labor theory of property) then a very different system emerges where firms are worker cooperatives (or similar workplace democracies) where people will appropriate the positive and negative fruits of their labor."
This is very intriguing.

@Sandra Yes it would be nice to be able to uncouple and . However it is the dynamic within the world system whereby the richest 10% expect to be able to extract returns from their investment in extraction and use that makes this impossible.

Unless you make these investments worthless, which would mean a major undermining of the of the rich, you will not see a change in this dynamic.

ChatGPT prompt. Can the worlds five major religions justify laws? Here’s the gist: “In summary, while the world's major religions may allow for self-defense in certain situations, none of them explicitly endorse the concept of Stand Your Ground laws. The use of force must always be guided by principles of nonviolence, compassion, and proportionality.”

It's funny to me when I hear about people who advocate for "property rights" when we stole land from Native people. The people who fight for "property rights" are the ones who bought everything cheap years ago & stop people from living in affordable homes now.

It makes me so sad.

@salad_bar_breath Agreed.

What I dislike the most about these discussions is that everyone generally involved in them is trapped in a liberal mindset.

Unless I speak up, it is rare even for self described to point out the fundamental purpose of the state is to use violence to enforce contracts, specifically as it relates to so-called .

The purpose of the state itself is to perpetuate and defend capitalism, and even when the social democrats use the power of the state to reign in the worst excesses of capitalism -- not only is it temporary (because the power is not crushed), it actually serves to stabilize the system itself.

So, even "big government" types like social democrats serve an important purpose under capitalism and the state, which is to help balance out the power in such a way as to try and keep the system stable.

It makes the right leaning liberals (proto-) and left leaning () both fundamentally in different ways -- they are reacting to the problems of , but coming to different conclusions on how to address it, without actually challenging the underlying system itself. For the right wing reactionaries, they target and blame minorities, and for the left leaning reactionaries they target and blame "the wealthy, greedy, corrupt ." (Failing to realize, of course, that it is impossible for a to act any differently than they do -- it's like being angry at a wolf for eating a lamb. It's just what wolves do.)

It's one of the reasons it is important for people to develop a proper mindset.

Another story of private entities gaming wealth redistribution. Once a government has compromised its citizens’ , we’re left with ever-disappearing opportunities to succeed based on effort and voluntary trade. The laws that should protect us become weapons for grafters and parasites.

You don’t solve this with more economic controls. You solve this by getting the government out of the economy altogether.

Property is a social relationship—an agreement about the use and disposition of stuff.

Beyond what you can grasp in your own hands, everything you own is by agreement with other people who could, but don’t, take for themselves the things you’ve claimed.

Wealth is a subset of property, a social relationship of *command.* Wealth is the social ability to command and compel other people to bring you things you want or labor for you at your direction.

If wealth is a relationship of command, then poverty, its inverse, is the state of being subject to command.
