Torture? Pffft. Let's substitute 'vampirism' for stealing. Is it okay to stomach pump a vampire and return that blood to the victim via IV?

Robin Hood was about serfs who had every last thing taken from them. It's like a 100% tax rate. That's not sustainable.

Again, this is redistribution. With my apologies to all the vampires out there (it was his analogy, not mine:) why is there a need for vampires?

Robin Hoods' motive may be laudable but he really is only redistributing wealth. Certainly he can not be considered a producer.
Ragnar has this same conflict within his group but has decided that, as a temporary measure, it is acceptable to himself (with restrictions).
