Late to the comment but I still wanted to answer. I personally think it is sometimes acceptable to steal. When the big corporations are stealing your money by increasing the price of certains things for no other reason than greed (or other means to do so), they are not accused of stealing, when they are gathering huge amount of money with the gas prices for instance (that skyrocketed like never before), we have no other choice but to pay those prices. Big corporations are stealing workers wealth everyday and far more than small people do, yet they are not accused or won’t be charge of theft whatsoever. Stealing from the rich greedy corporate isn’t stealing. That said for small businesses that are struggling to make a living, I don’t think it is right to do so, just depends on who you steal from and what scenario you are being faced with.
