inheritance causes a lot of problems, and if the entire rest of humanity (assuming there is a propertied few) decides not to honour such rights, they simply don't exist. Property rights over youself are undeniable, property rights over anythign else is mearly a convention.

So if a gang decides to take your stuff, you have no right to it? Might makes right?
What are the "problems" caused by inheritance?
What is your proposed alternative to inheritance? A gang of others gets the "right" to take your property because they have the most force?

I really think that's impossible to deny.

I deny it.

edit: and i would say the sort of property rights you posit that are derived from material + self-ownership are in actuality property that you can control THROUGH self-ownership and is the same right that revolutionaries excerise.

Again, this is might-makes-right thinking. Taking something by force does not inherently confer a legitimate property right.
