So personal property would not be considered Evilâ„¢ "private property"?

i think so! i claim "personal ownership" of my computer, because i am the primary caretaker of my computer and am also willing to share my productive outputs with my community. i'd like to claim "personal ownership" of my room in my flat, for the same reasons, but the State will protect my landlord's "personal exclusive ownership from a remote distance that is held for eternity" using force.

we do need people to be the Kaitiaki ("guardians" / "stewards" / "caretakers" / "maintainers") of our natural resources. but it's "evil" when those who provide care for the resources are restricted by force to lose the fruits of their labor.

1) centralized (accumulated wealth of many men's labor)

it helped my understanding when i learned that centralization happens on many dimensions: resources, information, and control.

for example: it's possible to distribute resources (philanthropy) while still centralizing information (trade secrets) and control (patents).

2) protected by government backed by an army

i'd change this to be "protected by anyone other the current caretakers".
