Capitalism requires unfounded remote ownership a la Property is Theft.
Define "unfounded."
I'll give some examples. Grain rotting in a silo. A field left unplowed. A castle waiting for a soon-to-return-noble in the crusades. A locked dumpster. These are examples of wasted property needlessly accumulated and consolidated for the supposed purpose of private wealth to the detriment of public good. Proudhon is pretty cool.
That does not define "unfounded."
Plus, some are very poor examples of waste.
The castle is like saying "an empty home waiting for it's owner to come home from work," and fields sometimes need to be left unplowed to recover nutrients.
Not gonna pander to dictionary copypasta.
Examples of waste are examples of waste.
Fuck affluence. Squat the burbs. An unoccupied house, unoccupied because the resident is off being a dick to muslims should get squatted.
A field =/= nurtient depleted field. -until capitalism, that is.

I don't want you to. I want you to explain why it is unfounded. What makes property an unfounded right?
'Cuz Proudhon said so?
'Cuz you're poor, and fuck the rich?

We could also go into the idea of stocks in things that involved anything from fraud to genogide to obtain, like the entire US. We can also think of unfounded as unfair or unjust.
Now the real crazy part comes in during a consideration of wage slavery, human beings and other animals as property, and labor as a commodity.
all this will be irrelevant if we remove the right to own stuff, the very foundation of any capitalistic society.
See, these folks be confusing private property with private posessions.

Maybe you don't see the logical contradiction here, but I do.

But if it's an illiterate sheep-herder who has been using the land for pasture, like is father before him, etc?
In that case, I would consider the land as owned.  But I can still make a deal with him.  Hmmm...arbitration companies representing indigenous peoples, ensuring that they don't get fleeced, for a return on the profits of those who exploit those assets? Yes, AnCap can promote justice for them too, like a "Charitable Arbitration Company".

That's not a very anarchist thing to say.
Hypothetical situation A:
I grow grain and sell it to a foreign customer.  A drought causes starvation in my local area, but my techniques of farming render me immune, and the foreign buyer has contractual rights to the next 6 months of my output.  the locals are starving, and try to take my grain, and I kill many in self-defense as they storm my grain silos.  Am I a criminal?
Hypothetical situation B:
I have full silos of grain, and I choose to let it rot, and the locals are starving, and I kill many when they storm my silos.  Does that make me a criminal?
Criminal? Anarchist, remember? No state, no crime, no institutionalized demonization.
I will try to assess the ethical implications of your situations, however.
A. The foreign buyer is not sympathetic to the people who now depend on your technology. You would be foolish to let yourself be obligated to the foreign buyer in order to keep your techniques out of the public domain.
B. Nope.

B. Nope.

A.  So my contract is rendered invalid?  Bad for business, bad for the buyer and the seller.
B. "I'll give some examples. Grain rotting in a silo." So what term to you use?  
"Criminal? Anarchist, remember? No state, no crime, no institutionalized demonization."  
I see, theft is not a crime, in your books.

I begin to see yet greater difficulties in implementing AnCap, but I still think it's the best choice.
Freedom carries a steep price, but still a bargain compared to every alternative.

Capitalism and free markets: Industrial revolution, vaccines, men on the moon, lower infant mortality rates, longer lifespans, fridges, phones and computers:
Not capitalism and free markets: 100 million murdered or starved in the 20th century.

I see you've made your choice.

The irony that you're posting this on a smartphone is not lost on me.

First:
Yes, it exists without something owning it. Thus "unowned property." Not a good justification for calling property unfounded.
While something can be utilized without someone owning it, that likewise a poor justification for calling property unfounded, because it cannot be utilized by two people at the same time.
And finally, Capitalism does not "always result in waste." Waste is loss. Capitalists don't like loss. They like profit. Capitalists avoid waste like the plague.

Waste of profit, yup agreed. Waste of every single other factor? People's lives?
