problem: most defenses of the "individual" and his or her property/cash situation are also abstract.
they fall back onto constitutional defininitions of the individual, also abstract.
these definitions come into direct conflict with the realities produced by capitalism--i agree--but these contradictions bely the nice words used by the framers to define individuals as "all created equal"---which clearly, under capitalism, they are not.
