[Blood of Tyrants]

17. Rabbi Yosi said: Let the property of your fellow man be as dear to you as your own.

There are a lot of people who take that waaaay to literally and then decide that THEY hold it more dearly than me. So they take it.

"There are a lot of people who take that waaaay to literally and then decide that THEY hold it more dearly than me. So they take it."

That proverb is an expression of the Golden Rule NOT to do to others what is hateful to oneself. That particular proverb implores one to respect the private property of others.

One of the ironies with Communists is that while they preach against the right of others to own private property, they're quite greedy with their own possessions.
