Honesty of motivation

Understanding of the violent nature of the state, while not acknowledging the violence inherent in the destruction of private property.

Emma would know one owns oneself, but the fails to realize that this one also owns the products of their labour.

Property is an extension of ones self.

Through a the application of our faculties against the world in its state of nature, we create something new which was created by you, using your faculties and is thus an extension of your ownership of yourself to the things you create.

The application of the violence of the state however in both the definition and the enforcement of those property rights, does not then follow to be just or correct.

If I killed a fish. And there are 2 of us. You do not have an equal claim to that fish. If you were to take that fish, a primal instinct would emerge within me to stop you. This is because our property is necessary to our survival. The act of you taking the fish, may not be physical violence against my body, but it is an attack on my ability to survive. Perhaps I consumed all my energy in the acquisition or said fish. You taking that fish, will directly result in at least pain, and possibly death. The fish is mine. Should I share the fish? Probably, both morally and logically. But where the fish goes, is my choice. To deprive me of that choice, is an act off violence.

Lovely short listen however, A rich perspective. I will probably listen to it again. Recommend.
