In order to destroy an effect you must first destroy the cause. If there is theft it is only because there is abundance on one hand and famine on the other; because everything only belongs to some. The struggle will only disappear when men will put their joys and suffering in common, their labors and their riches, when all will belong to everyone.
-- Marius Jacob

@anarchistquotes such a person doesn't seem to have gotten out much, because there are absolutely thieves who engage in theft without the need for famine.

But even skipping over that bit of naivety, the concept of all belonging to everyone is inherently contradictory given the fundamental concept of belonging.
