Property rights are a threat not a debate

With regard to property rights, the statement that an object is the property of someone else is not really a truth statement of the conventional type, it is not up for debate, it is in fact a threat! A claim to property is nothing more than a treat of the preparedness to do violence if violated.

There is little point discussing (considering, thinking about) property rights, unless we are in a position to do something about it by changing the law. Only the politicians can make a significant change to the way in which property is organised and it is only through elections that politicians can be altered. The ballot box is similar to the division of a boundary demarcating property, in that respect. Politicians have exclusive control of property rights.
