    The essence of your scenario is the protection of private property.

    I identified as the overarching objective the abolition of private property.

    Scarcity of natural resources is intractable, yet we still seek, for the social systems through which they are managed, those that best support our shared objectives.

      But you can’t abolish private property. I take ergo you cannot. Private ownership is inherent to the consumption of limited resources.

        Private property is a social construct, and no more.

        Some societies hold the construct, others lack it.

        Interaction with the natural environment requires simply agency and activity, not any particular social construct or system.

        Some system of management is required for members of society to benefit collectively from the same resources, but private property is not required.

            No. Sorry.

            Private property is not a concept that coherently describes the behaviors of rats.

            Private property is a social construct that occurs in some but not all human societies.

            Modern society, organized by the capitalist mode of production, produces the class disparity through private property.

            Socialists seek the abolition of private property, and thereby, the eradication of the class disparity.

                Sharing is a general description of a robust, essentially universal, human behavior.

                As a general tendency, it also appears within the behavior of many other species.

                You have been invoking unconventional terminology, and now have descended essentially into incoherence.

                  If dictionary terminology is unconventional then yes, we have descended into incoherence.
