The situations you are describing are essentially war time or marshal law style events. Under those circumstances almost all laws are either suspended or unable to be enforced and essentially the fabric of society is already severed.
The same "arguments" could be made by replacing the word "steal" with "murder" and I would still have the same position and principles, because I also do not condone murder even if the person being murdered is someone I despise.

- ddtaylor 4y ago> You don't think anyone should ever steal? I think in all contexts stealing is wrong, it's just in some contexts stealing being wrong doesn't matter because the alternative of dying makes it a moot point. > What about a partisan group opposing an occupation? This was answered as essentially war-time activity. It's still wrong to steal from someone, but again the alternative of being killed makes it a moot point. > At what point is stealing permissible? Stealing is still wrong, it's just that it can obviously exist in scenarios that are so wrong for other reasons that the stealing is the least of concern.
