Of course I used a little hyperbole. Still, property is not innate – it is a social construct. When agriculture started, society decided to allow people to own property. People need society, they don't need property (as they've lived without it for over a million years). Society therefore can define the limits of private possession.

Obviously, we need to take into account that now, unlike 10,000 years ago, people no longer have the option of leaving society completely, so they have little choice in the matter, and in order to restore some of that freedom, private property needs to be protected by law. But again, property is not a natural right; it's a social convention. That should be the premise.
