Owning a bank is a bigger crime than robbing one

For instance, in Greece, Italy, Spain and Germany, (where there is an anarchist movement and a more developed class struggle), people understand the practice of robbing banks, for personal defiance of wage slavery, and for the benefit of the friends and family, or movement.
Giannis Dimitrakis, well known bank robber mentioned in the above text, is a committed anarchist who played an important part in the rebellions in the Greek prisons, and was also active 'outside' before he was arrested.
