This is the thread in question. The relevant discussion starts on page 5 or so. Pvn does come closest to giving an answer, which is basically, "if we don't have property, then we have nothing," but that still sound like a mandatory belief in property rights to me.

It's not mandatory, It's inherent and inescapable. It extends from owning yourself. If you however were to argue that you don’t believe in property whatsoever, than I’ll have to call bs, I cannot assault you if you don’t own you. You cannot be robbed, raped or suffer any injury at all. If you can be robbed, than you can own things. Land is just one of those things. What quality of land do you believe makes it “un-ownable” that doesn’t apply to any other “property”.

Ownership of land is not "inherent". Societies have existed throughout history and around the globe that did not recognize it. We have adopted the principle of land ownership because we think it makes for a better society. But not because there is some higher Platonic truth to it.
