Understood.
And it is probably the main reason governments are formed.
A group is stronger than a single person.
But if that were the natural state then there is nothing wrong with someone taking another's property. We wouldn't or shouldn't prohibit it.
Sometimes there's little we can do about it (thinking through history of all the wars of conquest fought) but I have no doubt that those who were plunderered wanted justice.
It's natural to want justice when your livelihood and property are taken.
This desire for justice can last generations.
Almost two laws at work here. Power corrupts versus property rights.
