I've heard it said that Locke's defense of private property in chapter 5 of the second treatise is actually a defense of privacy. The whole notion on mixing labor with x giving natural rights to x has been endlessly criticized, but I think the reason the idea sticks is because what it's really arguing for is something we all clearly want, we just don't know how else to appeal for that "good" outside the language of classical notions of rights and consent.
When you write LHM on the family that practices commerce on it's members, I noted that this is something I think about a lot. The importance of choosing unconditional v conditional love is not something that people naturally understand, imo, but depends highly on the family/system they experienced growing up. Then again, when I say naturally understand I don't mean instinctual. Seeking unconditional love is instinctual.
