" Proudhon (Weitling too) thinks he is telling the worst about property when he calls it theft (vol.) Passing quite over the embarrassing ques­tion, what well-founded objection could be made against theft, we only ask: Is the concept 'theft' at all possible unless one allows validity to the concept 'property'? How can one steal if property is not already extant? What belongs to no one cannot be stolen; the water that one draws out of the sea he does not steal. Accordingly property is not theft, but a theft becomes possible only through property. Weitling has to come to this too, as he does regard everything as the property of all: if something is 'the property of all' then indeed the individual who appropriates it to himself steals. "
