Ancaps who adhere to the NAP just assume it's self-evident who's the aggressor and who's the defender in any situation, and it's based entirely on their conception of "property." "I hate the state and consider everything it does aggressive and illegitimate. I also uncritically accept the state's definition of ownership and recognize the titles it establishes and enforces legitimate without question."
I know there are ancaps who will handwave to the possibility, in principle, that property titles can be illegitimate or traceable to an unjust origin. But then they'll respond to any criticism of a landlord, or of what Elon Musk spends money on, by saying "Who cares? It's his proppity!"
