He left out the word “kulak”.

I don’t think his poor soul knows what she is talking about, amongst others I used to be a small business owner for over half a century and provided some pretty decent jobs for quite a few. A couple of employees were with us for over forty years and others for decades, apparently an indication we all got along well and they liked what they were doing.
THERE IS NO DEFENSE!
Why then Natalie Escobar won’t mind at all if a group of people break down her doors strip her house of anything saleable and then burn it to the ground. And maybe beat her to death or shoot her if she tries to defend her property. I think it would be a great experience for her.
DEFUND NPR.
I’ll take the topic “In defense of shooting the looting for $1000, Phil.”
NPR? Are we paying this Communist a Taxpayer funded Salary?
Tagline...
Publishers should just keep accepting her articles for publication, and not pay her (and put them in the satire column or give them to Babylon Bee for ideas). Let her try to live by the same principles she advocates.
The author, Vicky Osterweil is mentally ill and has completely disassociated from reality. Also if one looks up a picture of “Vicky” I would bet a large sum of money that his original name was Victor before the sex change operation. Hopefully I am not alone that it is an insult to intelligent people that we are to take NPR seriously when they interview clearly mentally ill people and try to pass them off as normal.
NPR removed their comment section long ago because shut up.
“His wit’s as thick as a Tewkesbury mustard.”
Northwestern University, ProPublica and now NPR! Also articles in The Atlantic! This kind of screed is frequently a socialist one, they are very unfond of personal entrepreneurs and small businesses. These operations are gravel in the machine to nationalize a country. I'd like to call her attention to the minor fact that Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Alphabet and Microsoft, all started as small businesses in the past 50 years! Real myths, yeah right!
Note that this article does not appear to have comments enabled, strange that!
She writes, " So you get to the heart of that property relation, and demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free."
She writes, "It's just money. It's just property. It's not actually hurting any people."
Looting does bring real, lasting change in society. Take a look at places where massive looting has taken place. Economic depression (i.e. Detroit, some parts of Chicago, LA, Ferguson and other cities that have had the euphoric rioting experience). Who in their right mind would set up any real, meaningful business there?
Without police and state oppression? Really? The day I can get a group of guys to go with me to take her stuff, I WILL do it just to watch her reaction (and then leave it where she can find it again). When initially taken, she will demand action from the police and the state. She only wants them to protect her while she takes YOUR stuff.
It's just money, property? It's not actually hurting any people? I want some of what she's smoking. If we go to take her stuff, she's going to try to stop you. Someone's going to get hurt and I don't plan on it being me. Looters have the same point of view and have clearly demonstrated it recently. Some attacked a guy trying to guard places from looting who was armed. It didn't turn out so well for them. Two of them, if they could come back from the dead would slap her two-faced for saying that and the third would slap her right now...with his LEFT hand.
Bizarre
These dolts complain about small business at the same time they complain about income equality.
It isn’t the small business man who is making billions. It’s CEOs like Bezos who crush the small business man and concentrate wealth at the top and concentrate the wealth in the highest end zip codes.
Holy crap are these people idiots. A local company, owned by a local guy, lives locally, spends locally for the most part.
One of the things some of the interviewed looters claimed is ‘insurance will cover the loss’.
Pretty sure my homeowners policy does not cover ‘insurrection’ ‘riots’.
What about these business owners?
Distill the BS and it becomes: I think it's okay to break the law, riot, and loot private property. If that's the case, then it seems equally okay to shoot anyone who steals my private property.
“In defense of shooting looters.”

Realism says when you steal people's stuff enough, they quite producing it because they can't buy the materials to produce it any more, AND, they get tired of working for free. When someone finally wises up and quits paying for her articles written in Fecal Font, pt. 12, she will quit writing them.
