Convergence

One thing that I enjoy is noting convergence of ideas between disparate thinkers and writers. For example, Max Stirner writes at length about the Unique self and its property. Without property, the self cannot do its egoistical best to enjoy itself, or amount to something of significance to it and perhaps to the world.

Mark Levin, In Liberty And Tyranny, on pages 58 and 59, at length dissects and criticizes leftist former law professor, Cass Sunstein:  Sunstein promotes delinking liberty and property rights. Levin favors keeping liberty and property rights linked and mutually protected from government intrusion and force, as the private citizen seeks to enjoy and fulfill his inalienable rights as an individual. In other words, individualism, property rights and exercising liberty in civil society are all natural rights guaranteed and protected under the Constitution. Note how the Founding Fathers, Levin and Stirner all note the congenital affiliation of private property rights with living life as an individual.

When communitarians and statist like Sunstein and Obama they can and must delink individualism and private property and liberty, but allowing statute-driven federal intervention forcing individuals to give up much of their liberty and private property to be distributed among members of society that did not earn or own that private property.
