Not exactly right, and true to a degree. So what is your point? The fact a certain idea is formulated as a statement of fact, only demonstrates realisation on a cognitive level. If you read TJ writings, you will find he was wrestling with quite a number of issues and how these could be practically implemented. The Liberia experiment being one such idea floating around.

Your kneejerk response meant for denigration totally falls flat, goes tits up, because you failed to look further than your nose.

....should have stayed with the original Lockean formula of life, liberty, and property.... And indeed, the property issue is key. Yet, perhaps, we can consider this a to be self evident issue. Without property you are nothing. Properties of humans differ from properties of dolphins, although they share a few. The unique property of humans is to add properties of all kinds. And this indeed is basically denied by your typical socialists and communists as a bad thing.

The object of these properties is not property, but the happiness that such pursuits yield, meaning: how you go about it. This again in opposition to the typical socialist and communists who claim that only in the community you will be able to find happiness.
