I certainly did not say that the theft of a chicken Mcnugget was a
"symptom of worldwide class struggle".

However, I will stand by my claim that it was "a crime by the poor against the rich".
No one doubts McDonald's as an entity is extremely wealthy. On the other hand in comparison,
the worker who stole the McNugget is likely to be poor. Therefore it is a crime by the poor
against the rich, albeit a minor one.
