It's that line of "infringing on the freedom of others". If you think it's the government role to free people of their oppressive burdens (e.g. free them from poverty, free them from ill-heath) then concentration of wealth is "infringing on the freedoms of others". So it needs to be regulated against.
Yep, accumulation of private property is a sort of violence.
Whenever power is concentrated, folks will abuse it.
No. Not what I said.
Private property is the accumulation of wealth. Personal property is my house and my car. If I have a second house I rent out, it's not personal, as I'm not personally using it beyond exploiting others.
If you want to cap private property, it would reduce exploitation. But not eliminate it.
I think you just didn't realize that's synonymous with what you said. Private property is wealth, private property is theft... But even if you didn't realize that's what you implied, you were still correct :)
I love seeing all of us anarchists come out now that the shit has hit the fan
