Essential John Locke: The Right to Property

[ricaechavez]

There seems to be insinuation about how explorers and colonizers had the right to land from Indegenous people. Indegenous peoples could also use the same argument for having natural rights to their land. What would John Locke say about two groups using the land how they see fit for themselves?

The idea that even some people today do not understand!

My private property was taken by my neighbor who applied chemicals on it for over 5 years. He and his brother (the County Sheriffs detective) made public statements that I was involved in illegal drug activity, but that was not true and that could not provide any evidence to support that defamation of my character. Here is a link to show photo evidence if the personal injury that I suffered before I had no option but to stay at my home and die or flee and attempt to recover from the injury.

What ought to happen with corporate stock, then? If I own stock in XYZ corporation, am I not entitled to receive my share of the company's profits (in the form of dividends) proportionate to my share of ownership?

when we say labor should have rights over the fruits of their labor then that itself goes against private property doesnt it?

Let's not leave out the Lockean Proviso that states that whilst individuals have a right to homestead private property from nature by working on it, they can do so only "at least where there is enough, and as good, left in common for others".[

Yet, somehow, people believe that if you divest the "authority" of a king or queen amongst a number of politicians - it is somehow different because "muh, democracy" or "No taxation without representation" and other such rot. The fact that I own my body and whatever my body is involved in producing, doesn't change when you call it "government", instead of "king".

Did Locke say anything on money (medium of exchange) ? Is money a private property or public utility?

[briantime]

they found *unclaimed* land in North America, i imagine the native Americans might have something to say about that

My question is how to obtain property if every place on earth is worked on by farmers who produce enought food for five people each with their land. If someone is born how do they get their right to property if they can not work any land?

(The injunction watercolored and dated to March 22 (“So fleete not with their streame, let me excite Your military judgements to give light In safe securing of the residue, Or extirpation of that Indian crew”) is answered on November 30* (“In the law of nature and nations, a land never inhabited, by any, utterly derelicted and immemorially abandoned by the former inhabitants, becomes theirs that will possess it”, *dated to each of November 13 and 30) and again in Chapter V of Part ii of those promotional materials which have been called Tractatus de Gallico Morbico (the Indian’s claimed lack of agriculture and of money are offered as basis of the appraisal of proceeds from land as compared with those of “mankind ... here” (reversal mine) possibly not 1/240th of each of 5 quid) supplying a tiered rule of property for the Americas as expropriation, open season, in advance of and in harmony with the ethnologues of Bouquet, w/ profound respect and love, لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله)

There's no such thing as rights. Nobody deserves anything. It's all a power play. Some are just luckier than others.
