People shouldn't have to justify their existence based on some other group's favorite economic model. That seems weird and needlessly cruel.
- sudosysgen 5y agoThis is something that becomes truer when you start really thinking about it. Private property the way we have it right now is just a social construct, for it not to be simply theft it has to be socially efficient. That is to say, if people are given stewardship over land that really isn't inherently anyone's, it's a reasonable expectation that they don't use it to make food for it to be thrown out.
- AlgorithmicTime 5y agoPeople need to justify their existence to the universe - that is, every morsel of food is the product of struggle against the physical laws of the universe. There is no free lunch.
