Self Ownership.

Do the Leftist on this forum agree with the principal of self ownership? Why or why not?

Sure, I'm all for self-ownership. But in practice, this doesn't mean too much. Most actions of a person affect other people, and if it negatively affects them, then those actions can be viewed as being against the concept of self-ownership, since they might impede on a person's ability to "control their own body and life".

I meant to make this a poll. And you point will be addressed in my next thread, possibly tomorrow.

For personal things (clothing, jewelry, watch, shoes, etc) but for everything else that isn't personal or sacred to another person I think it should be communally owned. However this isn't 100%, it should be up to those who share a house to decide.

So, You do not own you own body?

I'm not property to be owned, by myself or anyone else.

In a society without property rights, what difference would it be if I said you did or you didn't?
