against those without property. This is precisely why it is a crime
to steal from McDonald's - a company which rakes in billions of profits
every year - yet it is not a crime for 700 million people to starve.
Would you advocate putting someone who has no food, in jail for stealing
food from a billion dollar company.The sad fact about most crime is that so little of it is directed
against the rich and powerful. It is usually intra-class (working
class vis-a-vis working class) or unfairly inter-class
(rich plundering the poor). It is for this reason that all forms
of crime by the poor against the rich should be supported.
