Come-from-Beyond (who is in Belarus) make a similar line of argument to me.

It seems to me that those who grew up in these (former?) Communist states developed a culture of theft, because that was the only way to game the totalitarian system. We all know that Communism is a philosophy of stealing from each other.

Have you said here that I'm a thief? http://web.archive.org/web/20160404110355/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1414944.msg14417575

Did I say CfB is a thief? What did I write in the one sentence about CfB? You elided the quote to which that one sentence is referring to.

Do you wish to make any statement about the theory I posited that made no specific allegation against CfB?

You mean "that Communism is a philosophy of stealing from each other"?

Yes, although it devolves to a Totalitarian state, but the underlying delusion is that less productive can steal from the more productive so that labor is not cheated of its fair share, or more saliently that production is a zero-sum game instead of an expanding pie.

TL;DR: "social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of the communist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money,[3][4] and the state.[5][6]" is "a philosophy of stealing from each other"?
Am i understanding you correctly?
Is friendship also "a philosophy of stealing from each other"? Family?
