I’m having some major hangups about shoplifting, specifically how it affects employees and members of the proletariat. What do you think about shoplifting? Don’t waste my time answering if you’re not a socialist.

    I think that generally for most people shoplifting isn’t good, simply because it might sow distrust and such things, society operates well on people being generally honest to each other.

    If you need something though - go for it, I don’t think it’s morally wrong then.

    I know of a couple of privileged people who shoplift for example food that they could easily afford, wouldn’t even have to change their lifestyle or whatever.

    That’s just lame, not revolutionary or anything, and I feel that it might be immoral, even if you are taking from big corp. It’s not just big corp involved, but many regular people as well. It’s not you taking money here that’s the problem, it’s other people seeing you, they don’t know what you are taking etc.

    Idk, I am interested in this discussion :)
