There is no reason, other than fear, why a person should respect the property rights of someone else if they have no property of their own.
The advantage of property rights is that it allows us to better arrange the allocation of resources for the most happiness. If we have no property then, clearly, the system is working against us and we have nothing to gain by respecting it. Providing there is a sufficiency, property shared is better than property owned exclusively by one person, or a small number. It is better if a small number of people do not own a disproportionate quantity of land.
