It seems to me like those kinds of arguments assume that someone who does not own any land in a society with property rights is somehow being disenfranchised, and the implication seems to be that even staying alive under this arrangement should be difficult, since you will always be trespassing on someone else's property and of course they are going to be shooting at you for these indiscretions.

To elaborate the point a bit. The only people being 'disenfranchised' under this scenario are those that voluntarily sold their land to the monopolist. The other poor people who didnt own any of the land before still dont own any of the land now. They are no better and no worse than before.
