    There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.

      Piracy wouldn’t even be possible if it wasn’t for the people who actually produce the product being pirated. Anarchy doesn’t produce anything but chaos.

      Is capitalism all great? Of course not, but it produced the foundation of piracy in the first place.

        In as much one can say cancer and sickness produces the impetus to create antibodies and vaccines, yes.

          Piracy is not the cure to capitalism. Common sense regulation is the cure to capitalism (see e.g. the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany etc.).
