So I was reading that Somalia article...
We're dumping nuclear waste in to Somalian waters, while harvesting fish from the same waters? Wouldn't the 'Western' fishermen be eating our own radioactive waste then?
*ETA*
Further, while their system may be egalitarian, Pirates are still basically Water-borne robbers. Take away the water, put them on land, and they're just robbers....I don't think the introduction of water and piss poor living conditions justifies high-seas robbery.
The counter-vailing consideration is that being a pirate may be the most tempting career, because, the squalid economic conditions render pirating as the only viable career. Nonetheless, by being a pirate, you're accepting a life as a force-thief, and as a consequence, you must accept the consequences of using force or the threat of force...
