OK, but what about intentional, criminal exploitation?
As you note, private property has a number of definitional components, and I assume the abolishion of private property would require not only that these components be annulled, but other stipulations to protect communal use put into law. Now, without a production metric (to avoid completely the term "value") and some application of this metric, how can I express these stipulations? And how can I guard against complicated arrangements that are covertly exploitive?
