Motion: Move to adopt the following resolution:

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party supports the free market and therefore the right of privatization of property as an extension of the individual;

WHEREAS, the Statement of Principles of The Libertarian Party explicitly supports the right to private property ownership, including the right to do business utilizing that property as capital;

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party strongly supports the rights of individuals to own private property including land, structures, natural resources and other private space through homesteading, purchase, and other lawful libertarian means;

WHEREAS, ownership of private property, including but not limited to land and housing, does not require continual or personal use to exist as justly owned property unless otherwise abandoned;

WHEREAS, these have been part of the principles of the Libertarian Party since its inception;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that socialist and communist property ownership schemes, including the collectivization of property, unlawful usurpation of property, and incorrect characterizations of private property, unless otherwise voluntarily agreed by all parties, are incompatible with the philosophy of the Libertarian Party.

This Resolution failed to achieve a simply majority.
