Apparently Property is Theft.

You can not have any personal feelings.

Proudhon’s critique rested on two key concepts. Firstly, property allowed the owner to exploit its user (“property is theft” ). Secondly, that property created authoritarian and oppressive social relationships between the two (“property is despotism”). These are interrelated, as it is the relations of oppression that property creates which allows exploitation to happen and the appropriation of our common heritage by the few gives the rest little alternative but to agree to such domination and let the owner appropriate the fruits of their labour.

Proudhon’s genius and the power of his critique was that he took all the defences of, and apologies for, property and showed that, logically, they could be used to attack that institution. By treating them as absolute and universal as its apologists treated property itself, he showed that they undermined property rather than supported it.

Proudhon was “the greatest intellectual influence on French socialism”

Sorry i am a ANCAP and not a ANCOM ,. there is a big difference ,.. like a communist anarchist's is not by far a agorist , or working on strict voluntary base .

The communist "anarchist" does not like the ANCAP ,.. the commie anarchist is looking for a free ride , as that is what he believes to be a good social construct . Free market and trade is not in there book ,..
As a agorist i see the contradiction they carry , like good try mate , but nut quit there yet ,. ill do trades with them and watch it turn in to social dictatorship while staying far away from it .

So no ,.. property is not theft ,.. the way one obtains his property can be theft ,.. like tax or just stealing it form others . ( self upvoting comes very close to this )

Always respect a others property , so don't tax or steal it .
It's all just plain common sense , no need for complicated word salads to delude in to thinking otherwise .

Proudhon was ,.. a fool to me . ;-)

Interesting. I will create a new Blogging g platform called….. Agor.blog or Agorism.blog or Agorist.blog

Stay tuned for more.

Agorism is a social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, engaging with aspects of nonviolent revolution. It was first proposed by American libertarian philosopher Samuel Edward Konkin III (1947–2004) at two conferences, CounterCon I in October 1974 and CounterCon II in May 1975.

Close i said ,.. for in the long run your stealing from yourself .
And yes , on the short vision , self-voting could be explained and defended with free ride logic .
I did the work no one asked for ,.. invested a stake ,.. and i wan't profit out of that , while falling to see the need of growth on the longer time scale ,.. i want it all ,.. and i want it now ,. ..
The music in my head when my pointer hovers over the upvote button in my post ... ;-)

since when is myopic focus on (perceived) short-term self-interest "a crime" ?

it certainly doesn't reach the bar of "coercive theft"

You can invest 1 Million dollars in something like Hive or Steem but you better never expect a profit. The OverLords…. the Communist and Anarchist Rulers, will take it from you. Ha ha ha ha ….

Your overstretching the subject ,.. trying to pull it out of content ,.. i advice to be careful , as your starting to step in your own shit soon . Not a threat , just some caring advice ,.. to keep you from hurting yourself ,.. and probably blaming me for it . I don't need those wars no more , please .

( self upvoting comes very close to this )

I ask you , where do you see any other topic in that line then upvoting your own content ? Or is self-voting , the whole blockchain and all it's futures , to you , and your now only acting out of fear to loose that ?

Well no worries , i have zero power ,.. but i might surprise you that i do not mind someone setting up multiple accounts to upvote one main account . As that would mean investing and staking in multiple accounts ,.. witch add's more to the economy then just plain self-voting does . ;-)

Never did i call it a crime ,. just not smart in the long run .

It's your cow ,.. if you choose to profit on the meat ,. that is then your right to do so ,.. I just see more profit coming from selling only the milk and butter .

you basically suggested that "self-voting" "comes close" to "tax"

this makes zero sense

Tax and self-voting both are bad for economic growth ,.. but it could maybe be better compared with cheating on your insurance .. ;-)
