> Funny, he'd fit more in a hunter-gatherer society because guess what they also don't have... (to spell it out: money). His refusal to use money is really a lampshade on a refusal to do anything useful period. Plenty of people don't interact with money yet still manage to provide useful goods and services in exchange for necessities. He's not doing any of that either. > "You have to contribute productively" is such a capitalist mindset that it draws for me the picture of you being a Gordon Gekko type. You've got me pegged all wrong. This transcends affront to capitalism to affront to all forms of societal organization; guy is a mooch, pure and simple, unwilling to do anything to help others but perfectly willing to accept all help from others for his own benefit. No society would put up with him, capitalistic or otherwise. He's a deadbeat father who wouldn't even do anything to support his own kids. > I wonder if he'd agree to do some work like cleaning the city parks in exchange [...] Based on what I read in the article it doesn't seem like he's willing to do any work at all. No mentions of performing any work or services in exchange for essentials; it's all freely given to him by charitable people and organizations.
