With respect to your second, I submit that the social order implied here is kinda nasty. Better hope one is on everyone's good side, right?
People generally find ownership to be lower cost than threats -or- violence......hence the value of property rights in conflict avoidance. I risk less by buying a candy bar than I do by scaring someone into giving me one, or engaging in theft.
Those with no property rights must resort to theft and violence by default. IDK about you...but I'd rather give the man $1.00 and enjoy my chocolate bar.
