omorkaI stumbled across a new word! (This is a relatively rare phenomenon for me, so I try to journal about it when it happens.)
Propertarians - broadly, those who advocate the legal private ownership of property; more specifically, those who believe that all zero-sum goods can be and should be owned, and that the right of ownership is the most fundamental (or one of the most fundamental) human rights.
This strikes me a much more honest name for it than "libertarianism." It also distinguishes the basic philosophical justification from the larger kludge that is Objectivism, with all the muddiness about perception and reality. (Really, when your capitalism has gotten into your metaphysics that deeply and that many times, it's time to put the lid back on - it really doesn't taste all that great.)
