> I think this is creating a false dichotomy by implying that it's a foregone conclusion that a soup kitchen style of government would be able to support everyone. uh, soup kitchen style of government? how about no government at all? just to clarify: for me communism is the antiauthoritarian leftism that is in the bottom left of the political compass. top left?: stalinism&maoism, top right?: nazigermany, quarter-to-the-bottom&full-right?: USofA exaggerated? perhaps. > First, buy local from small producers. You can see how the animals live. good point, if you live in an area with local, small producers. I cannot speak for my miserable parents, but I definetly did not have children for them to just toil and die. I just want everyone to have a good time. Distancing ourselfs from eachother by using money to measure the value of every interaction is definetly not The Way for everyone to have a good one.

But we understand that life is full of struggle and death, yet we have children. "Distancing ourselfs from eachother by using money to measure the value of every interaction... " That's a choice. One can always volunteer. It seems human nature will always find some way to measure value transfer, or at least determine if someone is worthy of the "free" service. I think we see this in libertarian communities - most people contribute, but freeloaders could be labeled as such.

    And it was the debtor's choice to get involved in those transactions. Many businesses, including banks, make charitable donations.
