Rothbard seeks to prove that our own bodies are our property, so to kill or enslave would be a violation of property rights. Anything we mix our labor with (build a fishing pole out of a tree, build a house and garden on a plot of land) is also our property. To steal or trespass on property would be a violation of property rights. It’s very philosophical and can basically be summed up in "do unto others as you’d have done to yourself"

Exactly, and that’s where the crux is, what I would describe as desirable for me is not necessarily desirable for others. Hard problem 🐶🐾🤔
This certainly is a problem. The communists believe private property is theft, and then we get into another debate about what property is.
The communist would believe if I build a fishing pole, then that fishing pole is the public property for everyone. The problem is, the only way to force me to give up my fishing pole is to use violence against my body. This is fine if my body also belongs to everyone else, because I have no right to my own body.
To explain why my body belongs to myself would actually be too much for a nostr note 😂 but i definitely recommend you read the book or listen to it on YouTube
Totally! 🐶🐾🤣
