Rousseau's Utopie

For Rousseau, property is something that emerges from social political relations. And therefore isn't around in the natural state. The only way you can get legitimate property rights is for those property rights to arise from a general will produced through a social contract. That turns what would otherwise be mere property claims into rights because those rights come with the backing of the whole. So it isn't as if he completely gets rid of inequality because Rousseau doesn't believe you can totally return to thenatural state. But this is mitigated to a great degree.
