As he pulled his luggage through downtown New Haven, Conn., a woman handed him a flier describing his new city as crime-ridden and dangerous. It listed alarming local crime statistics and instructed students to “remain on campus,” “avoid public transportation” and “stay off the streets after 8 p.m.” Illustrated with a picture of the Grim Reaper, the flier wished students an ominous “Good luck.”
But perhaps most jarring was the source of the flier, listed plainly in its text: the union that represents Yale’s own campus police.

didn't say it was leftism
i don't like poshos and could do with the money
Yeah, "I just feel like robbing people" is bad. I'm asking why a leftist community seems to think it's worth upvoting.
some of us don't care about poshos i guess
So if you think someone has a little more money than you do, it's OK to rob them for no other reason than you would like more money? Again, this is bad, and not leftism, despite the class-based veneer you're throwing on it.
Moving from "some crimes are justified, or even good, because they further a leftist project that benefits working people" to "crime is rad lol" creates this type of opportunism.
lol
they have a lot more money than i do
that more money would mean i don't have to choose between power and food, so yeah
Yep this is about it
In response to your edit about power and food: assuming that's true, robbing an individual stranger is maybe the least justifiable type of theft. An electronics store is what you're looking for.
Did you just quote yourself?
That's the mentality on display here.
"robbing extremely privileged people would mean i could afford basic necessities"
"you just like crime"
lol
Ah.
sure thing bud
mugging someone is easier though
The only reason to prefer mugging a random student over walking out of Target with a TV is wanting to hurt a person, or at least screw them over individually.
You just want to punch up, which is understandable. But it's not leftism, and it doesn't justify victimizing a person instead of a company.
we don't have target here
way less likely to get caught mugging some rando
you don't really need to hurt them
again, never said it's leftism
you also need to flog the tv
and get it home
In your original post you make it sound much more like recreation than necessity.
Comrade WoofWoof can have a little crime, as a treat.
