> Property is theft.
Property is liberty.
Property is impossible.
Proudhon is obviously talking about three different things. The word
"property" is like the word "love." It has more than one meaning. You
"love" your girlfriend. You "love" your mother. You "love" pizza. These
are obviously different things. So too are the three different kinds of
property.
"Property is theft" refers to private property, i.e., a factory where
workers toil to produce goods the owner sells back to us. We built those
factories. They rightfully belong to us. We were robbed.
"Property is liberty" refers to personal property. If the things you
actually use, your home, your car, your tools, your toys, etc. are not
entirely immune to confiscation and forfieture, your "liberty" is an cruel
illusion.
"Property is impossible" refers to public property. A long as the things
we all use, the roads, the schools, the airwaves, etc. are under control
of the state and of private capital and not of the public, public property
is impossible.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
