>>5414511Anyone can protect private property. That's a mere physical matter.
The State doesn't protect, except to claim its own property. It claims ownership over everyone and everything. This is basic sovereignty. You know, like how that sovereign bureaucracy your precious collectivist "anarchy" enslaves everyone to whatever special ends its special members demand? Anyone who manages to control a thing will own it for that time.
Private property at its most basic is descriptive not normative. Private defense agencies, non-aggression pacts, and contracts translate the former simplicity into the latter complexity.
