People can and do take it from others regularly though. Property isn't inalienable - right? People's lives and property are constantly alienated and exploited by others, I hate it personally, but what makes it "wrong"? Or what makes it a right in the first place?

What makes stealing property wrong is that it is detrimental to life. Life being the ‘standard’ of what is good (improves life) or evil (destroys life). It harms the life of the individual who has lost their property and society overall as others decide not to create or own property on the basis it will only be taken from them. Only civilised societies recognise this, essentially individualist capitalist societies. When this is not occurring, query the society you live in.

"Life being the ‘standard’ of what is good (improves life) or evil (destroys life)." What makes this true?
