 I agree with you that states tend to corruption.

What you wrote above does not make sense to me however. If person A believes that object X is their property, while all other persons in the universe do not, what should be done? How is property decided? 
 You don't know what property is? 
 Do you have a definition? 
 Ownership means you are rightfully (i.e. not stolen) in possession of something, you control of its usage, and you are responsible for it.

Examples of things I own: 

My body, my time, my energy, and the products of those things.

Something I own is my property.

 
 Do you consider that land can be owned? Animals?  
 Like children, animals can be your wards, not your property.

You own what you build on the land, not the land itself. You also have the right to insist people not snoop around your property (i.e. trespass) threatening your security.
