I am talking about the very conception of private property - which is monopolizing control of resources by issuing threats against others to control their behavior.  But this is another way of saying "threaten others to make them do what you want."

It leads to bad things, and foreseeably so.

If you have an alternative, I'd like to hear it.

I don't see how what you're saying could apply to the very conception of private property though. Without the state to act in favor of the majority, like in an anarcho-capitalist system where everything is privatized and the wealthiest would control the resources, then yeah. But if I own a home in a nice suburban town, in what way am I threatening others to control their behavior? Give me an example. Not an ideological one, but a real-world example of these sorts of threats that results from private property, say, in the United States today
