More From James Madison

In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. he has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them. he has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. in a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... what those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. the absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

Christ represents originally: 1) men before god; 2) god for men; 3) men to man. similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society. but christ is alienated god and alienated man. god has value only insofar as he represents christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents christ. it is the same with money.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

I want everyone to keep the property that he has acquired for himself according to the principle: benefit to the community precedes benefit to the individual. but the state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. it is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. this is the crucial matter. the third reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.
