I summarize DiLorenzo so that you can ignore it and get back to your unlinked assertions. I'd encourage anyone to be intellectually curious and to actually read the book (it's online, at the link, and free) and dismiss the smug dismissal you're going to offer.

1. The problem with property is that people can use wealth to acquire power over others when accumulatons of power are collected and supported.



2. The problem with power is that people can use it to take wealth away from others by force.



3. Power is delegated. Without acceptance or active support it can be removed and dispersed. Power is a zero-sum game.



4. Property is inherent to human nature and pre-exists government. It cannot be done away with by fiat as people are material in nature and must manipulate material in order to survive. Property rights are how people recognize the need for exclusive control of various material.



5. Wealth is created out of property but trade can increase wealth through the division of labor and cooperation and is thus a positive-sum game.
