“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”
-Frederic Bastiat
Property rights exist independently of whether you successfully defend them in a fight. Winning or losing a struggle doesn’t create or erase the right.
