This seems to assume that "property rights" are simply recognized by government -- as opposed to being defined or created by it.
In fact, the customary rights that predated the state were mostly communal, and modern "private property" -- in the sense of land as a marketable commodity that could be controlled by absentee owners -- was a creation of the state.
