An implicit point to the OP is there is no alternative to private property given human nature - fear - and apparent scarcity of resources - and that private property forms the basis of every other system out there, with some inclusions from religion, thus all social systems are doomed to fail, some slower, some quite a bit faster.
No alternative, that is, except for the social order predicated upon self-governance by the golden rule and preached by Jesus.
This makes no sense. If I don't have the capacity to treat others equitably for reasons reflecting my own understanding then I will be no more able to do so by attempting to apply some external philosophy. For to do so I must interpret each situation and then apply this philosophy, but I can only do so using my own understanding.
