Unlike taxation, the use of force to defend property rights is utilitarian and can be described as defensive. Taxation can never be defensive but defending access to resources can be if the circumstances are right. If we are forbidden to defend any property we must allow anyone to go anywhere, we can have no exclusive space. Is it likely that a Society would choose to live this way?
It is better to allow personal access to resources because otherwise we are able to profit from the work of others, when we have done nothing.
That which nobody owns nobody will care for? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QouamYWL6vc)
Why not instead make things nice and pleasant for all people to share? Protect property rights as far as it is essential to do so, from destruction, but not from effective and efficient use. Others should be allowed to use our property, but not destroy it. The destruction of any property should be a crime, even if it not owned (claimed) by anyone. The anxiety comes when the use of a property is desired by two people at the same time.
