That's only for economic crime, think theft. There can only be theft out of greed or necessity. The handful of cleptomaniacs that steal for personal satisfaction are such a small percentage that it's not worth discussing.

Anything like a crime of passion is probably murder or something along those lines. Less directly related to money.

No honest leftist I've ever talked to has denied that, but they're largely not relevant to the ideas around the restructure of society. Any system is gonna have an angry spouse making horrible choices.

Of course. No true Scotsman. Right.

No true Scotsman would claim I'm making that argument because they're full of it. I'm not claiming that those people wouldn't be real leftists. I'm saying they aren't real.
