Private property/capital can be understood as theft because it requires an enclosure of the commons at its root, which is done by force more often than not.
That's critique is more appropriate for something like land, but owning cnc machine and a patent doesn't translate to theft. the fact that workers who do stuff on these machines can't afford what they make does
Okay Rousseau, but Marx' s argument is not that property isn't theft, but that that the existence of the term "Theft" requires accepting that property is valid
