Property rights are fundamental to individuality are natural. Even in natural law, animals claim territory and defend it to the death. In some species, we see generations maintaining the same environment.

t’s no different than owning farmland and passing that to your children. There is nothing more natural.

The more interesting thought is having all things in common and the lack of personal property rights. We’ve tried it. It fails miserably every time. Resources are squandered and care for the environment is neglected. When everyone owns something, really, no one owns it. When no one owns it, someone must be forced to care for it which is why communism always turns authoritarian. By necessity, it must.
