The Marxist conundrum - Placing property over life.

One thing that the people who get their news from Trevor Noah need to stop saying is that all of the people who are opposed to the rioting, looting, and burning down of businesses are just obsessed with protecting Macy's and that we're placing property over life.

Second part first: I've never heard of a dead person being resurrected by burning a building.

First part second: The idea that the rioting, looting, and arson is just being directed at billion dollar companies is bullshit. Thousands of local businesses have been looted, vandalized, and burned.

I think that this all comes from the Marxist delusion that corporation=rich and business owner=rich. A lot of these businesses are run by people with modest life styles who worked for decades to build something of their own and you're shrugging it off when it's torn down because, to you, it's "Just a building."

It's a Marxist contempt for property which, of course, doesn't apply to your own property. How many of you champions of the rioters would call the cops if somebody burned your car? If they found the culprit and he said that he burned your car in protest of police violence, would you choose not to press charges?

It's not virtuous to support the destruction of property in this way. It's just showing how selfish Marxists actually are.

Finally, a third of all: This is the epitome of injustice. By using this tactic in response to real victims, you're creating more victims. How are you any more virtuous than any person who has ever hurt somebody just because he couldn't get his hands on the actual person who wronged him? You're exacerbating the tragedy.
