• Theft is an example of the first line of 3L’s definition of aggression: ‘initiating nonconsensual physical force against another person or their property.’
• Examples of theft are when someone is deprived of their peacefully-obtained property by:
  • An individual using threats of or actual physical force - typically called ‘robbery’
  • A group using threats of or actual physical force - includes government ‘taxation’, and mafia ‘protection payments’
  • A government forcing adoption only of their currency and undermining its value by creating more supply of it - this is called ‘inflation’.
