Imagine thinking you can have private property without a central government to enforce it
You don’t need a government, you just need violence
And what is a government but legitimized violence?
I agree with you there. My point is that a government is not needed to have private property. Governments are inherently violent, but you can be violent without a government.
Not all forms of violence are useful for protecting private property.
Again, no one said that. All I said was that violence was needed for protecting private property. Not that all forms of violence is useful for it.
You’re really bad at logic. “You can be violent without a government” does not imply you can necessarily protect private property without a government. Because being violent isn’t enough to protect private property. Only certain forms of violence are (forms which you haven’t done anything to show can be performed without a government).
If I say something is mine and you disagree, a violence happens and whoever is left standing has private property. QED violence enforced property.
Where is the line drawn between a government and a legitimized systemic form of violence?
There is no line, legitimate violence is just one of the services a government is expected to perform
It’s only “expected” to perform other services because its violence prevents us from doing those things apart from it.
If you want to pave roads, build bridges, and run charities, the government won’t stop you
Salary? Money? Without a government?
During the years of Spanish provinces in America, some small banks would own the entire land and pay the locals using their own currency only print by them, 1 coin equals 1 day of labor which was nearly enough for 2 meals, then the Spanish kingdom would forgive the landowners taxes if the locals were forced into Christian religion.
Gotta promise them something until you get your military up and running.
And how exactly would one enforce communist principles? What if someone starts hoarding resources?
You refuse to do the labor needed for their hoarding. You should really learn about models of ownership-by-use. People just aren’t capable of protecting/maintaining/using that much personally.
