So, by extension, I could take money from the government (or really anyone) because it’s not property? If money is not property and not “owned” by someone wouldn’t that drive the population to abandon the “fiction” of a fiat currency?

Maybe, it doesn’t matter the outcome, the objective is to stall and stifle the defendant’s resources.
