Propertytarianism

Propertytarianism, propertitarianism, or propertyism can express either one of two different ideas of moral codes :
 * (1) everything must be privately owned (except for sovereign individuals, who "own" themselves)
 * (2) only property has rights; people do not.

The first one is the ethical code of anarcho-capitalism (including voluntaryism, agorism, etc.), which with a very few modifications making it suitable for minarchism, is very close to the ethical codes of both Ayn Rand's objectivism and Murray Rothbard's libertarianism. The current (2010) stances of the U.S. Republican Party are considerably different (and have very different philosophic roots), even though on certain points (e.g. taxes, health care, bail-outs), Republican rhetoric virtually matches the anarcho-capitalist position.

The second one is mostly expressed (at least explicitly) by the critics of capitalism and consumerism, who maintain that excessive focus & obsession with material property cheapens human values---even human identity---and that "things" (belongings; possessions; capital; money) start to own/control people instead of [it being] the other way around. Food for thought!
