Region: Anarchy

Seeya, I would actually agree, property as we know it is not at all voluntary. It is only sustainable as it is right now, in its gross disproportion, by the State.

But you don't need "100% of the universe" to agree on who owns what for it to be property. You only need this basic agreement on those who would raise claims that it belongs to them. We can all easily imagine a million different scenarios in which there would be struggles over land, factories, houses... anything that can be property, there will be arguments over. In anarchism, this leaves the problem of property wide open to new solutions. If it turns out that property is entirely unsustainable... then that's that. As a "capitalist", I won't go running back to the State just because anarchy didn't turn out like I thought it would!
