I'm no huge fan of capitalism and I definitely believe in cooperation and freedom if ideas and sharing in general. However these things have to come voluntarily from each person, otherwise your just another authoritarian asshole coercing people to do what you want instead of what they want.

As long as people have to make money to survive (because we're too dumb to cooperate as a culture), then it is incredibly disrespectful to steal from people. Everything you take from them hurts their ability to survive, even if just in a tiny way. If they want to charge you a million dollars for a toothpick, as asshole-ish as that is, stealing their toothpick makes you the bigger asshole. Just walk away and accept your disappointment in not getting the toothpick.

Maybe someday people will realize that everything would be much easier if we just simple cooperated and shared with each other, but our culture is so unhealthy at the moment it's hard to see how to get from here to there. So as long this is what we have, we have to be nice and respectful to each others wishes and not take things from people who aren't giving them freely. You can always ask for charity if you really need it, just be honest with yourself about what it is. There is no harm in *asking* for something. Doesn't mean you'll get it, but you can always try.

If you steal or use force or coercion to take things or harm others, then you are simply that toxic part of the culture that makes trust and sharing so hard. It's the tragedy of the commons. Don't be the tragedy.
