Private property is a moral reality which exists PRIOR TO LAW OR ANY SOCIAL CONTRACT, which the rest of society is morally obligated to revere by law. The existing society helps one to acquire and hold property, but the right to own the fruit of your work is a natural right. It is recognized in law, NOT IN ANY WAY CREATED BY LAW. Bwhahahaha!
When the revolution comes, just keep repeating "natural right".

Do you have a right to your life?
Is the government charged with protecting that right?
You have an equal right to not be enslaved,
and to own property.
And, these rights must either be protected by government, or failing that, your 2nd amendment rights.
