“The difference between earning and stealing is just who writes the laws”
Agree
- Legal theft is still theft with fancier paperwork
- Rich people legalize their own exploitation constantly
- Property itself is just organized violence
- Winner writes history and defines legitimate acquisition
Disagree
- Real moral distinction exists between earning and theft
- Law reflects genuine ethical principles mostly
- Consent makes all the difference in transactions
- Cynical nihilism that justifies actual crime
