I think that's an unfair caricature, Allan. It's not that "any profit must ... be theft." it's that capitalism tends to increase wealth inequality, and if unregulated by governments and uncontrolled by unions, it tends to lead to exploitation of workers. Thomas Piketty, a more recent thinker than Karl Marx wrote about that in his book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century".
