# FILE NAME: 00002615.soc # TITLE: Should we abolish private property so that wealth cannot be accumulated intergenerationally? [331175ecc04cc7726b765ac0d39b5a57] # DESCRIPTION: # DATA TYPE: soc # MODIFICATION TYPE: original # RELATES TO: # RELATED FILES: # PUBLICATION DATE: 2025-10-12 # MODIFICATION DATE: 2025-10-12 # NUMBER ALTERNATIVES: 5 # NUMBER VOTERS: 5 # NUMBER UNIQUE ORDERS: 5 # ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - I understand the premise of this but I feel that abolishing private property will not stop wealth creation is many cases. Owning private property is a right that everyone should hold and that more help and support should be provided to ensure everyone is able to attain home ownership. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - I believe that people should be entitled to their own property especially when they work hard for it. I believe it gives them a piece of mind and security. It can also make their self esteem higher. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - owning private property is up to the individual abolishing this would be like living in a communist state the government do not have the right to tell people that they cant own property # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - At present, the income gap is incredibly wide. I believe that at least some, but not all, of accumulated wealth should go back into the community. If not, it seems we would have people with a lot more money than they know what to do with, and people who are struggling everywhere. That said, if a parent wants to leave their child a nice fortune, I think this should be allowed - they've also worked hard to accumulate that wealth and should be able to accomplish what they want to do with it. So I would say ... maybe beyond a certain amount that is clearly a comfortable sum to set an individual for life (e.g. 10 million), per child the wealthy person has, the rest of the inheritance could go back to the community. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 5: Statement 5 - There should always be a right to own property. Intergenerational wealth is an important part of keeping the "cycle" going. I own property and I absolutely want my daughter to inherit it and be better off financially herself. 1: 5,4,1,2,3 1: 1,2,3,4,5 1: 1,5,2,3,4 1: 5,2,1,3,4 1: 4,1,5,2,3
