- Karl Marx is adamant that property is not a material fact but a form of relation. In their manifesto, Marx and Engels seek a way out of this relation through the abolition of private property, allowing the opening of humanity without the presupposition of appropriation. In this essay, I use this framework to think about my relationship with Zoey, the cat who lives with me. I ask whether it is possible to conceive of this relation without its presupposition in the logics of ownership. Tracing anthropocentric philosophy from Heidegger to the contemporary, I seek a radical animal ethics against property.
