In the theory of negative property rights it does not directly follow that this is something you can do. You would have to perform actions which does not interfere with anyone else`s actions first. Then, the "propertyness" of a thing is a consequence of nobody else interfering with your actions or what is the consequences that follow from it, not of your claiming anything. The claim is a legal implementation, which will of course never perfectly align with all, or any, theories of rights. | |

The only other thing they have in common is that someone ends up with possession of something, which would happen in any society. But here we are discussing the concept of negative vs positive rights. So a communist state cannot change the concept of negative rights into a positive right, it is a contradiction in terms, they just happen to use the same word. | |
