Doesn't "not controlling one's own wealth" end up equivalent to "subject to arbitrary seizure of assets by a third party"? I think you could construct a reason

Doesn't "not controlling one's own wealth" end up equivalent to "subject to arbitrary seizure of assets by a third party"?
I think you could construct a reasonable argument that this is a basic human right.
- aninhumer 10y agoNot necessarily arbitrary, it could be subject to well defined rules. And indeed, property is one such system wherein people are subject to seizure of assets according to particular rules. Controlling ones own wealth also means there is a mechanism to seize it from anyone else.
