- Shoplifting is MORE ACCESSIBLE than the world of big business: anyone can do it, and many of the people whom big business usually shits on (parents with prams and wheelchair- bound, for example) have a positive advantage.
- Shoplifting is LESS IMMORAL than big business: it doesn’t exploit workers, kill animals, destroy rain forests or give cancer to children
- Shoplifting is MORE HONEST than big business: shoplifters don’t pretend to be providing a public service, they don’t creat artificial shortages, nor do they invent myths of fashion or style.
- Shoplifting is illegal, but SO ARE MOST THINGS THAT DAMAGE PROFITS: armed insurrection, industrial sabotage, most strikes and many demonstrations, are illegal, but this doesn’t prevent them getting widespread support from lefties.
