Leftist Blogger Matt Yglesias Doesn't Believe in Private Property, Buys Million Dollar House

Slate’s Matt Yglesias tweeted his views on private property ownership last September.

The concept of “redistribution” falsely implies that the existence of property is prior to the existence of the state. #mythofownership

Myth of ownership, eh?

Journalist and political blogger Matthew Yglesias bought a three-bedroom, three-bath condo on Q Street in Logan Circle for $1.2 million. In a converted Victorian rowhouse, the unit has original exposed-brick walls and a private patio. Yglesias writes about business and the economy for Slate.

So, Yglesias would be fine with the government coming and seizing his mythical house to help pay off its debts then?
