"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

No! Says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No! Says the man in Vatican. It belongs to god.
No! Says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different."

Propertarianism, or Proprietarianism, is a political ideology which reduces political philosophy to the respect of the right to private property[1], that is, reducing it to the explanation of the just distribution of scarce resources, and the just retaliation if this right is violated.
It's an advocator of property, based on Neo-Lockean homestead principle, which states that the only ways property can be legitimately obtained is either by mixing your labor with unowned resources, or trading it, being gifted it by the previous owner, or by producing new property, although it chooses to reject the Lockean proviso,[2] which states that it is only applicable when there is enough and of same quality for everybody else to claim.

It is closely related to Right-Libertarianism because of its similar advocacy for the right of private property, and it can even be called the basis of it. 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 be simplified as being advocated by Capitalism in general, it is more closely advocated by Anarcho-Capitalist and Minarchist circles.

According to certain advocates it is simply a synonym with Capitalism.[3]

History

The term was coined by Edward Cain in 1963 since the use of Liberty of some Libertarian circles at the time used property rights 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 lists Ayn Rand as a Radical Capitalist and the closest to "Propertarianism" that he could think of.[4]

Propertarian was later employed by Marcus Cunliffe as a characteristic of American history as a whole[5] and then by David Boaz, who defined it as the main moral and legal institution that ensured the creation of privacy rights.[6]

Then, Brian Doherty, regards Murray Rothbard styled Libertarianism as Propertarianism due to his "reduction" of human rights to the right of property, starting with the right to self-ownership.[7]
