It says private property is inherently theft but doesn't explain why.

Is it because the means of production are private property?

He's probably just paraphrasing Proudhon

First sentence:

In a recent essay for The Nation, I argued that property destruction needs to be taken seriously as a coherent, intelligent form of political speech.

What the fuck? I'm not gonna read this.

First sentences seem to easily frighten you.

[Origen]

To threaten property, therefore, is not to threaten mere things; it is to threaten the prerogatives of owning classes’ most deeply held beliefs about themselves as autonomous, self-governing individuals. The visceral reaction to the destruction of real property in the course of protests is not an aversion to violence as much as it is a reaction to the existential implications of such an incursion. Its mere suggestion brings with it the threat of a wholesale disruption of the very basis of our current private-property- and market-centered system of political economy. A police station or a storefront is not property in and of itself, but it’s a synecdoche for property rights; a violation of those physical spaces is a reminder that the right to exclude can be traversed. It is also a reminder that private property itself is violent. Not metaphorically violent, but violently produced and violently enforced with violent consequences.

the body count of communism is well over 100 million from just Stalin and Mao

you fucking moron

[unsunghero]

All of one’s stuff including their computer put outside with this sign. It WILL be mostly picked up by the poor and at most the middle class passerby’s

Think of how liberating it will feel to lead by example. To lead by action rather than words

Not only have we gotten more pathetic at being full of sadness, we don't even have interesting cynics anymore. "Kevin Sorbo stuff" has his own forum over at FoH. Those guys like the masculine nature of his body, err, ideas.

The last interesting cynic I remember was Mike Davis, who died not all that long ago from throat cancer iirc. So I guess we don't have that many.

I fancy myself an interesting cynic but I'm not influential or very educated.
