Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Property is organized robbery.

Property is organized robbery.

Summary

This quote challenges the concept of property ownership by asserting that it is essentially a form of legitimate theft. By framing property as "organized robbery," it suggests that the acquisition and possession of property is an inherently exploitative act that often perpetuates inequalities in society. It criticizes the systems and structures that allow certain individuals or groups to accumulate wealth and control resources, while others are deprived of them. The quote reflects a perspective that questions the moral and ethical foundations of property rights and highlights the potential injustices associated with private ownership.
