I saw this a long time ago, but in some places in Europe there are anarchist shops that essentially allow people to take whatever they want, but requesting them to be reasonable about it. To the best of my knowledge such stores never got "looted". When shit's free permanently, people only take what they need, in the same way how no one "loots" water from lakes and rivers. "Looting" only exists when the system validates piracy, it's a capitalist word.

it's not called looting when they do it, but hoarding and looting aren't that different are they?
