"Property is the legal right to deny other people some set of actions regarding a thing."
People often denied other people some set of actions regarding things even without the state-enforced legal right to do so. As I said, the only thing the state changes is that people do not need to defend their property themselves.
If, for instance, I raise a sheep for a few years expecting to be able to use its wool and milk, it is in my best interest to stop other people from using its wool and milk, as they have not participated in the raising of the sheep.
Therefore, I would declare myself proprietor of the sheep, and would obviously stop other people from taking its milk and wool, in order not to deprive myself from the benefits I have acquired through my own work and effort.
This is not "state-licensed alienation".
