The spoon you dropped on the floor at the resturant was not your spoon in the sense that you own it, but rather your spoon in the sense that you are permitted to use the resturants spoon for the duration of your meal. If you walk out of the resturant with that spoon, then you are guilty of theft. Try telling the resturant that the spoon they bought and took care of is somehow your property because you used it for 30 minutes. Mixing your labor with the spoon is not enough to lay claim to it.

That is because the spoon is owned by the restaurant because of property laws which are protected by the government. That doesn't mean the restaurant justly owns it, only legally. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is moral. Technically it was illegal to vote in opposition to the Nazi party under Hitler.

OK, imagine the scenario without government.

It's still not your damn spoon.

"OK, imagine the scenario without government.

Says who? Who determines that? Who enforces that?
