What's is your interpretation of the phrase "Take what you need, live by what you desire"?

Asked by Captain_Fantasy (11447points) April 5th, 2010

This is the mantra of a group of homeless advocates in SF who decided to break in to a vacant duplex and squat there indefinitely. The other half of the duplex is occupied by a paying tenant.

I’m pretty sure if I break into someone’s home, I’d be arrested but the police have been instructed not to interfere.

To me that phrase sounds like the voice of an illegal mob.
“Hmnmm, I need money, and desire a new stereo. That means I get to take it”.

This is how criminals operate.

That’s my take. What’s your interpretation?
