ABSTRACT
Another statement about property reveals the primitive mental level of collectivists: the proposal to “abolish inheritance of property.” Since property is in tangible objects, * there are only two ways by which inheritance could be abolished. The objects must be destroyed or else declared to be no longer property, debarred from use, a dead man’s land let go back to wilderness. Savages or barbarians sometimes adopted this course, as when the goods and gear of the dead were buried with them and their huts burned, or the Viking’s ship became his funeral pyre, or former camp sites were abandoned.
