Property rights and violence, the two dont go without each other in any fundamental discussion.
The standard view here is that the state is the guarantor of those rights via a monopoly of violence granted by the people.
The libertarian view is that the state didn't ever contractually obtain this monopoly and will use it against you i.e. via taxation or when you are/do something your state thinks you shouldn't - often among them: Being gay, black, white, Jew, Christian, Muslim, raped, communist, capitalist, rich or poor.
