Private property is a means to an end. It is not the end itself. It is not a moral absolute.

“Private property is a means to an end. It is not the end itself. It is not a moral absolute.”

Actually, Thou shall not steal, says that it is, much the same as Thou shalt not murder,confirms the sanctity of life.

It's very close to it, though. It's implied in the Commandment, "Do not steal."

Free trade is a reality --a law of nature. If two parties are not coerced, or engaging in misrepresentation, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with tradiing. (With a few exceptions, like prostitution, etc.)
