When a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law, men will use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims.

"To improve as a player you need to not only know how you plan to win, but ... how might your opponent disrupt your plan."
"To win a moral victory at the expense of your sanity is dumb."
""If you die, you get to heaven; and if you win, you enjoy the earth" (Gita). Even if you die in this attempt, well and good, many will take up the work, following your example. And if you succeed, you will live a life of great opulence."
