"A social system based on this natural position regarding the
assignment of property rights is, and will from now on be called
pure capitalist. And since its ideas can also be discerned as the
dominating ideas of private law, i.e., of the norms regulating relations between private persons, it might also be termed a pure
private law system. This system is based on the idea that to be
nonaggressive, claims to property must be backed by the “objective” fact of an act of original appropriation, of previous ownership,
or by a mutually beneficial contractual relationship. This relationship can either be a deliberate cooperation between property owners or the deliberate transfer of property titles from one owner to
another. If this system is altered and instead a policy is instituted
that assigns rights of exclusive control over scarce means, however
partial, to persons or groups of persons that can point neither to
an act of previous usership of the things concerned, nor to a contractual relation with some previous user-owner, then this will be
called (partial) socialism. "
