Property and the Family

In this episode, we trace how Scripture’s laws against theft and covetousness serve not just to protect possessions but to secure the family, and explore Engels’ claim that private property is the economic foundation of monogamy and parental authority. We’ll then discuss how state control of land and inheritance erodes family freedom and turns children’s loyalty from parents to government, warning that relinquishing God-ordained property rights invites tyranny and bondage.
