What is the consensus regarding shoplifting? I am a pretty good girl and a hard worker. I am also class conscious but like nice things, clothing specifically. I would never steal from a local business or a company I respect, but I seem to have no fucking problem stealing a $450 shirt that cost $15 to make from a large department store. When I'm done wearing it I can sell it at a significantly reduced price on eBay to someone who will actually appreciate it. Please no moral lectures, but is there anything I am not considering? How might my actions affect the employees of said evil department stores if at all? The women working at this one store I hit up all appear to care nothing about anything going on there.

All capitalist firms are exploitative, none deserve respect.
Unless you're swiping dozens of items off an extremely small local store your "crime" is completely victimless.

Just don't get caught, and if you do, hint that you might be cleptomaniac.

A) I don't know what policy the shop has, but I don't think it's charged on the emploees.
B) Shoplifting luxuries isn't revolutionary. It's Lumpen Bourgie. Shoplifting for basic needs, or stealin mass amounts of basic products and giving them for free could be revolutionary.
Do whatever you want, but don't think you're "hurting the system" in any way.

I steal shit occasionally. Just when I don't feel like paying for something that's basically worthless, or if I'm just in an adventurous mood.

If you steal from other people you should be arrested and put in jail you fucking degenerate.

I don't think there's really a consensus in the left, but most anarchists actually encourage this kind of thing. Just don't get caught.

my personal opinion - stealing from h&m and shit, who cares – stealing from local paki shop, utter scum
Henry Sanchez
That opinion's bound to trigger someone, user.

You're risking getting in legal trouble for no raisin other than very petty material gain. I don't really give half a fuck about the ideological implications of stealing, but being involved with the criminal justice system sucks.
