    How do enforce a lack of private property without a state? How do you prevent a capitalist system from sprouting up in socialism without a state?

    Same way animals do. You don't need to enforce something that doesn't exist in the first place.

    If there's no state to stop me from building a garden on some billionaire's ranch, private property no longer exists.

    How do you prevent someone from not taking ownership of something?

    I believe I already answered this? There is no ownership without a state to enforce your claim.

    So nothing then. If you want something then you take it, if you are more powerful. That sounds problematic.

    That's already the way the world works today, and violent people will certainly continue to exist, though some of the incentive to be violent won't exist without the ability to accumulate infinite wealth. But the key difference is the state won't forbid you from organizing community self-defense as needed.
