ANARCHIST : "Property is theft".

Anarcho-CAPITALIST : "Property is sacrosanct".

Anarchists cannot say any property ownership is theft without being a hypocrite. They privately use their body and the land they stand on to make such pronouncements.

The human body is not property. It is the physical embodiment of self. As such it is not for sale, rent or otherwise, in a just society -- even less so in a society without masters, i.e. anarchy.

As to "the land they stand on", the land belongs to everybody in the anarchic society! In any case, use of the land, such as standing on it, is different from owning it.

Lots of Anarchicts have been hypocrites in their everyday life, and in their application in practical terms of their beliefs. But what you wrote is far from being a refutation of Anarchy.
