    Then go live in the fucking wood like your caveman ancestors so you can truly live of everything you made yourself.

    Society is built on the shoulders of those before them, that they themselves built on the shoulders of those before them.

    Stop being a dick and go help someone in your community, you will probably learn a thing or two.

      If someone creates something to trade it for goods and services, thats fine

      If someone creates something for their own reasons, you have no entitlement to it.

        “Their own reasons”

        Homie, the word your looking for is “profit”. And it has nothing to do with helping society. It’s about hoarding wealth.

        Your initial point is that no one deserves what someone else did. My counter point is that since the dawn of humanity, every human has used someone’s else idea or tool to make their life better.

        So yeah, you owe it to everyone around you for the lifestyle you have right now.

    Actually, in a socialist utopia, yes you would. And everyone else would be entitled to the thing you made too. And every pricetag would be based on the labor spent in making the item rather than inflated to satisfy the profits of some corporation that doesn’t add value to the product being sold.

      That sounds like a communist utopia you’re thinking of, not socialist.

      And ignores that it’s not that “everything is free”, it’s that everything is owned by everyone, the same way everyone “pays” for the police - but they don’t work for you, they work for everyone / the state.

  That’s not the message either. There are homeless shelters, mental and health services, and affordable housing being priotized all over.

  Necessities are in large free to those who need them. Nice to haves and luxury beds are not.

    There are homeless shelters, mental and health services, and affordable housing being priotized all over.

    But not in sufficient quantity to address need. Demand fsr, far outstrips supply.

    “Free” is irrelevant when it’s unavailable.
