Of the handful of philosophers you mentioned, only Rawls mentions explicitly the negative right to private property rights.
In my original argument, I did not attribute the concept of private property rights to any specific philosopher. I merely stated that the principles of justice in our society was based on the philosophical thought and debate between some of the philosophers I cited.
