Power Protect Property

More From Blaise Pascal

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.
Mean Evil Politics
When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.
Men Rights Political
Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. let my tax money go for the protection of me. protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property...worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life.

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.
Religious Communication Men
The only proper, moral purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence - to protect his right to his own life, to his own liberty, to his own property and to the pursuit of his own happiness. without property rights, no other rights are possible.
Mean Men Rights
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.
