Propertarianism

Propertarianism, or Proprietarianism, is a political philosophy which reduces ethics to the right of private property. It's an advocator of property, largely related to Neo-Lockean homestead principle, which states that the only ways property can be legitimately obtained is through applying your labor to unowned land or to trade it or being gifted it by the previous owner, although it chooses to reject the Lockean proviso, which states that it is only applicable when there is enough and of same quality for everybody else.

It is closely related to Right-Libertarianism because of its similar advocacy for the right to private property. It also usually related to the idea that the state monopoly should be replaced for systems like contractual law, the state only enforcing these contracts and private property. Propertarianism, although it can said of being advocated by Capitalism in general, is more closely advocated by Anarcho-Capitalist and  Minarchist circles.

According to certain advocates it is simply a synonym with Capitalism.

History
The term was coined by Edward Cain in 1963 since the use of Liberty of some Libertarian circles at the time used property as a synonym with "liberty" he thought that it would be useful to have a term to refer to people whose definition of liberty is similar to this. In his words he also lists Ayn Rand as a Radical Capitalist and the closest to that term that he could think of.

Then, Propertarian was used by Marcus Cunliffe as a characteristic of American history as a whole and then by David Boaz defined it as the main moral and legal institution that ensured the creation of privacy rights.

Then, Brian Doherty, regards Murray Rothbard styled Libertarianism as a Propertarianist due to his "reduction" of human rights to the right of property, starting with the natural right to self-ownership.
