Honest question: is this some academic definition of "profit" I'm not aware of? I don't fully understand how, say, painting a picture and selling it for more than the cost of materials is theft.
Rent is theft. Profit is theft. Interest is theft. Look, it isn't complicated. If you are making money that didn't come from your own labor, then it is coming from someone else's labor. You are stealing their money.

I mean profit from a business that hires workers, not profit gotten from your own labor, i.e. dividends to the shareholders, etc.

I see your point. However, I need a landlord to lease me their property because I can't afford one. I've had (and have) great landlords. Not all are blood-sucking vampires. E.g., mine uses the money for retirement, and they bought their property with money they worked for.

Some human children get "lucky" as they grow up, ending up, through no extra effort or skill, "earning" more than their peers. That inequality is used to further exploit their peers, increasing the inequality indefinitely. This is Monopoly. A shitty game, compared to real life.
