Do you genuinely believe this or do you just approach property at large from a realist's perspective?

- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoGovernments can withdraw the right at any time, with or without compensation. They usually don't without an exceptional reason. But if they want to, they can.
- ersatzz 3y agoGovernments can say whatever they want. My question was rather that if the government ceases to provide protection to... my exclusive right to my wallet, are others free to take it? Would this be theft, liberation or recovery? What happens if I simply begin to assert this exclusive right? What would this phenomenon be called? Is it really the case individuals can not assert their rights without a governments backing?
- andrekandre 3y ago> Is it really the case individuals can not assert their rights without a governments backing? doesn't the word "rights" itself presuppose a governing/arbitrating body?
- ersatzz 3y agoNo there exists natural/universal rights and legal/customary rights. I should've left the quoted part out as its presumptuous, my bad.
