[edit]Noun
[edit]propriété f (plural propriétés)
- property (something owned)

- 1849 [1840], Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, “Quatrième proposition. La propriété est impossible, parce qu’elle est homicide”, in Qu’est-ce que la propriété?[1], page 157; translated as “Fourth Proposition. Property is impossible, because it is Homicide”, in Benjamin Tucker, transl., What Is Property?, 1876, page 183:
- En somme, la propriété, après avoir dépouillé le travailleur par l’usure, l’assassine lentement par l’exténuation ; or, sans la spoliation et l’assassinat, la propriété n’est rien ; avec la spoliation et l’assassinat, elle périt bientôt faute de soutien : donc elle est impossible.
- In fine, property — after having robbed the laborer by usury — murders him slowly by starvation. Now, without robbery and murder, property cannot exist; with robbery and murder, it soon dies for want of support. Therefore it is impossible.
- property, attribute
