the politics of sanctioned murder

Many, if not most, US citizens believe in the right of private property. They will tell you that they have a such a right to own some piece of matter, and that with that right, they are free to use that matter in anyway they see fit (supposedly as long as they don't use it to interfere with the rights of others etc. and so forth and so on). What they completely fail to understand is that in order to have such a right in the first place, one also must hold the view that coercion, fear, intimidation, threat, and mortal violence must be part and parcel of the package. It is the ultimate travesty of property rights, that to protect them, one must advocate violence as well.
Sure, you can get all sorts of folks who will say that this isn't true, that there are "peaceful" ways to resolve such conflicts that may arise. By "peaceful" of course, they mean economic; and by economic they mean the fear, threat, intimidation, and violence that can be perpetrated through the use of capital to insist that their own authority be acknowledged and granted. Because, quite simply, even the most virulent libertarian will pay taxes to sponsor a blue uniformed gang of thugs to provide the violent coercive power to protect their property. This has been the human way for tens of thousands of years. Perpetuating the control of territory and resources through violence, or at the threat thereof. And out wonderful liberal arts education reinforces this underlying meme through the use of the same coercive abuses, training subsequent generations to adhere to this heinous philosophical position.
We seem incapable of even talking about cultures that have moved beyond the violence, simply through rejecting private property. It is interesting how closely violence and property are tied when viewed from perspective of those who live free from the encumberments of concern for material possessions. We as a nation refuse to allow our children to be taught about these cultures, and we refuse to allow our children to be free from the coercive threat of punishment and violence. Our school rules are modeled on the society's penal codes sections of which contain phrases like: crimes against property, crimes against oneself, etc.
Well consider this one little example. Your neighbor chooses to use store bought pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers on their property. According to those who advocate private property rights, this is all well and good. What they fail to acknowledge, and what they must also insure that they must never be held responsible or accountable for, is the toxicity and hazardous pollution they are dumping into the neighborhood. They are, through the protections and sanctions provided by the capital to which they are invested, free to threaten and kill their neighbors, to hundreds of species, and to destroy the planet for decades to come. This is war, it is murder, it is sanctioned violence at its core. And ultimately, there is no recourse whatsoever to stop them from doing so (the deepest pockets will always prevail and use their bluecoated gangs of thugs to protect themselves and their money). We can talk big about using violence to protect our property, but we will never accept violence to stop those that are killing our future. Such is the politics of capitalism and private property.
