Without government there can be no property rights

Without some form of government there can be no identifiable property rights... (property rights rely on the government) but if there is insufficient democracy in the form of first past the post this makes it very difficult for people to protect their property. In a sense without full democracy the government becomes tyrannical which means the property rights of the people are threatened. For example we can think of a communist system as being one in which there are no recognisable property rights. It is a contradiction for the state to recognise property in a communist system because by its nature property must be private (and apart from the state) to be meaningful. Without private property there is no property. And so democracy is required to establish (private) property. Only if there is true democracy can people protect themselves and their property from other people and the state.
