If we are not protecting our physical bodies, then any use of force is aggressive, we have no right to defend (external) property, such as land or manufactured goods. In that sense then, there are no property rights.
We cannot violate the Lockean proviso because it is based on the false premise of external property rights. If we defend land, we are being aggressive. If we defend manufactured goods such as tools, factories and machines (the instruments of labour) then we are being aggressive. It is aggressive to defend (external, not of the body) property rights.
