I think the people vs. property divide is a false dichotomy when properly understood. Disrespect for justly-acquired property is inherently disrespect for the people whose voluntary exchange or homesteading effort acquired that property. If I produce something, and you take it without my consent, you are claiming ownership over me as well. People who say, "you value your property over other people" tend to be justifying their disrespect for the person whose property they intend to plunder.

That said, there are plenty of examples of people who claim property rights as justification for abusing others, too. People like to claim property rights in things that are not properly property, like nationalist symbols and "intellectual property."

Collectives formed voluntarily are one thing. Collectives imposed without consent are another entirely.
