How exactly do you intend to have these values upheld and protected from a wealthy class without intermission of state.
Property is a naturally arising relationship between human beings and material things. Property rights make possible economic calculation, a wider and more productive division of labor, and therefore increasing levels of prosperity. Any intromission on property results in loss of freedom and prosperity.
The Neo-Lockean homestead principle states that the only legit ways to own property is either by
Mixing your labor with unowned resources;
Trading or being gifted it by the previous owner;
Producing new property.
the homeless should be housed in them regardless of the personal wishes of the owner.
The end does not justify the means. If that rich person legitimately owns 3 houses, they should have the full control of their property, as their natural right should be protected.
I don’t like the idea that our society should be constructed around a system of self interest because society is built from community not competition
Civilization itself is inconceivable in the absence of private property. A community is built by the willness of its individual members to cooperate with each other by voluntary means.
As human beings are different by nature, we are willing to form a community so that, with our own skills and intelligence, we can help ourselves by helping others. Differences are the very source of division of labor and, withing a free-market setting, lead not to conflict but cooperation.
Competition is a dynamic process of change. It’s not merely about rivalry between existing businesses but also about the discovery of new opportunities and better ways of serving consumer needs, being a part of the spontaneous order.
