Property or not?  Which is best?

​“Without property no class can take its true place in the nation. They must devote much of their resolution and self-denial to the steady persistent heaping together of the pence and shilling for this purpose.  As they become possessed of property, they will see a definite goal lying before themselves-one good and useful ambition ever succeeding to another.  The old dreary hopelessness will disappear, they will gain in power and influence; the different between classes will disappear;… (“A Plea for Voluntaryism” Essay by Auberon Herbert)”
 
 
There are many ideas out there on how to make the differences between classes disappear.  Mr. Herbert's view is that it should be done through freedom and voluntaryism.   Those of the Communistic and Socialistic worldview believe it can be done away with through the Dictator of the Proletariat after all property is removed from the individual.   Each group seems to be working on the same problem, just different methods.   The problem is labeled; the solution is much harder to determine.   Is force (compulsion) the best solution? Liberty?  Volunteerism?   What is it that you do to determine which ideas have good pieces but are not complete?  Which ideas are wrong and why?  Which ideas are right?  What a struggle we have here to determine our choices!  What an education we need to find the best solutions and move toward actions that will help make things better.
