Libertarians will justify private property by saying something like "imagine if you planted trees to grow an orchard, you would own it right?" Then they used that to justify a society where orchard trees are planted, harvested, and sold by people who do not own the orchard.

Libertarians say the law starts when your fist hits my face. They don't mind they are killed by pollution you dump in the air and water... 'Anyone over 30 years of age today, give a silent “Thank you” to the nearest, grimiest, sootiest smokestacks you can find.' -- Ayn Rand
