Is your body a theft from the commons? You have a monopoly on it. It is the first piece of property anyone acquires. There is no inconsistency in saying that

There is no inconsistency in saying that force is bad when used for aggression but not bad when used for self defense.
- Nursie 12y ago>> There is no inconsistency in saying that force is bad when used for aggression but not bad when used for self defense. Certainly there is not. But what about land? What would give you the right to potentially kill someone (or at least use force to remove them) from a piece of land? This question stems from conversations with internet libertarians who consider property rights (including real estate) as sacrosanct. I simply wonder what gives them rights to the land over other people, and how violence could be justified to protect them.
- dublinben 12y agoThis is nonsense. You don't "own" your body. You are your body.
