+>   _Qu’est-ce que la propriété_{as="cite" lang="fr"}? the
+>   contradiction that Proudhon is
+>   criticising society, on the one hand, from the standpoint and with
+>   the eyes of a French small-holding peasant (later
+>   _petit bourgeois_{as="i" lang="fr"})
+>   and, on the other, that he measures it with the standards he
+>   inherited from the socialists.
+>
+> The deficiency of the book is indicated by its very title.
+>   The question is so badly formulated that it cannot be answered
+>   correctly.
+> _Ancient “property relations”_ were superseded by _feudal_ property
+>   relations and these by “_bourgeois_” property relations.
+>   Thus history itself had expressed its criticism upon past
+>   _property
+>   relations_.
+> What Proudhon was actually dealing with was _modern bourgeois
+>   property_ as it exists today.
+> The question of what this is could have only been answered by a
+>   critical analysis of “_political economy_,” embracing the totality
+>   of
+>   these _property relations_, considering not their _legal_ aspect
+>   as
+>   _relations of volition_ but their real form, that is, as
+>   _relations of
+>   production_.
+> But as Proudhon entangled the whole of these economic relations in
+>   the general legal concept of “_property_,”
+>   “_la propriété_{as="i" lang="fr"},” he could
+>   not get beyond the answer which, in a similar work published before
+>   1789, Brissot had already given in the same words: “_La propriété
+>   c’est le vol._{as="i" lang="fr"}”
+>
+> The upshot is at best that the bourgeois legal conceptions of
+>   “_theft_” apply equally well to the “_honest_” gains of the
+>   bourgeois
+>   himself.
+> On the other hand, since “_theft_” as a forcible violation of
+>   property _presupposes the existence of property_, Proudhon
+>   entangled
+>   himself in all sorts of fantasies, obscure even to himself, about
+>   _true bourgeois property_.

+“What is property?” is a bad question;
+Proudhon’s answer, “Property is theft!”, presupposes property.
