What do you mean, believe in? We are aware that they currently exist and impact our lives.
As anarchist we are against the concept of property. We say that "Property is Theft." Anarchist define property as something that you prevent other people from using. The vast majority of 'property' in the world is never used by it's 'owner.' This includes landlords who own thousands of apartments, "farmers" who own tens of thousands of acres, or corporations who own factories all over the world.
The US reverence of property is a fairly recent thing. In the early 1800's in Europe there were laws saying that if one person had a tool they were not using, anyone else could take it for use and return it when they were done.
