They were not private property, they were stolen property.
What was stolen was a lot of the people's wealth when the gold standard was ended and people's gold deposits were confiscated in return for fiat money whose value has been stolen by the government every day since. An immoral law is no law at all. (Aquinas) Then we are only talking about power and deception and counter-deception.
