The best leftist take on stealing is that it is wrong, but (especially under capitalism) there are many excusable instances of it (that is, stealing from the right person for the right reason).
Every society I’m aware of, including all AES states, has some laws about property and some prohibition on stealing. Same for every religion. “Legalize theft” is a silly and futile battle to pick. Encouraging people to reassess when stealing is OK – that is, situations where the degree of need outweighs property interests – makes much more sense.

It’s… a joke…
My mistake, wasn’t sure. I’ve seen people say this or close to it seriously.
I mean the essence of the joke is the truth that stealing from corporations is good actually.
