Ron Allen answers:
It is the nature of PRIVATE property that it does
DEPRIVE others of property, those who do not own
property are left out, shut out, and kept out.
When property is exclusive, others are excluded,
those without property are excluded. Those who
have no property have no right to property.

Ron Allen answers:
One of the facts of life under capitalism is that
a person can own a lot more property than they can
make personal use of, while there are others who
own no property, or who own less property than
they need.
