You would refuse a starving person your food? You have enough, why the compulsion to steal from others to “redistribute”?

- tsimionescu 7y agoI didn't talk about redistribution. I'm describing how a system could work from the ground up with a market economy but without any capitalists. How to get there is another discussion that is far more thorny. I wouldn't deny a starving person my food, though the reality is that I rarely come into contact with someone who is starving. On the other hand, a lot of restaurants and super markets do regularly deny starving people food - they ask for money in place of common human decency.
- ctdonath 7y agoThey give away lots of excess food. Every week I take bushels of gourmet bread to food charities. I go out of my way to do so, maybe you should to rather than agitating to compel strangers out of ignorance. The well off do far more for the poor than you think - without gov't compulsion.
