 It is the errant religious belief that theft & coercion are okay when done by costumed authorities or elected officials that destroys society.

The laws of morality apply equally to everyone. 
 The biggest hurdle of getting people to understand this is the bastardization of the term capitalism itself. Capitalism is the natural order of humanity. It just is. The corporate-public pillaging of nations via money printing is not the definition of capitalism. I wish this knowledge was commonplace, but alas, it is not. 
 "errant" is a key term

evil uses error to profit

theft is the erroneous movement of possession

deliberate error is the definition of evil
