If property is theft, who is being robbed? And what are they being robbed OF, exactly?

[/ QUOTE ]If you had been reading your grandfathers more diligently, you'd know that everybody owns everything. Which is the same as saying that nobody owns anything. This is the original meaning behind terms such as "common", "commune", "communism".

[/ QUOTE ]

I've read it. It's all a bunch of handwaving. If "everyone owns everything" then you've already got a concept of property.

[/ QUOTE ]Nope, you have a negation of property.

The people who claim property is theft are just generating slogans.

[/ QUOTE ]This is not an argument. Only, possibly, an expression of annoyance. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] "Generating slogans" could just as easily be said of your lot too, the ACists. Well, I'd rather discuss things with you rather than hurl broad characterizations. [ QUOTE ]
They don't think property is theft, they think particular distributions of property are undesirable and use propaganda smear tactics in an attempt to appeal to emotion.

[/ QUOTE ]Again, the classical, non-hyphenated anarchists started by procliaming that the sacrosanct attributes of human private property are alien to the natural order of things on Earth. The anarchists claimed that property of things on Earth by single individuals is like stealing that thing from everybody else.[ QUOTE ]
That's what I was getting at with my mostly rhetorical question, though I was secretly hoping someone would take the bait.

[/ QUOTE ]So, you presumed everybody has read the classics and knows their positions, and you posted a strictly rhetorical question secretly hoping to "bait responses".

Who's being condescending here, then? And a little trollish.
