Without the notion of private property ( including your own body) is there an argument for self defence? An argument against rape? Is there an argument for "Thou shall not steal"?

There is not a good argument for self-defense, but there is one for defense of (some) others, and there is one against rape, and there is one for "thou shalt not steal."

However, that takes a detour through ontology and epistemology and theology.  My point in this thread is there is a necessary, forseeable problem with a social order predicated upon resource monopolization through issuance of threats against others to control their behavior.
