Except we should always support the stealing from (insured anyway) businesses. I don’t really feel any concern if a rich person gets a small amount of their stuff (that they can easily replace anyway) stolen.
In your ideal leftist society, would stealing be legal? Of course not -- nor has it been legal in any AES state. Generally speaking, it's bad. The vast majority of people think so now and will continue to think so even if there's a significant leftward shift in society.
Our default response to stealing, then, shouldn't be "hell yeah." People don't like getting ripped off and stealing isn't socialism. It's fine to cheer stealing from the right people for the right reasons, but that's not everything.
This isn’t a socialist society. This bike isn’t being stolen in a socialist society that provides for them. This is stealing from a rich bastard in a capitalist society. Those are two totally different things. What AES states do isn’t relevant as this isn’t occurring in an AES state
