This is a strange take on what defines a developed country. Moast developed countries can meet these needs but that isn't what makes them developed countries.

This is a strange take on what defines a developed country. Moast developed countries can meet these needs but that isn't what makes them developed countries. The idea to make energy cost proportional to wealth is also bizarre. The first problem with it is how will you determine wealth? The second problem is how will you determine need? The goal is to provide according to need while taking according to ability, right? This has been tried many times in many ways and inevitably results in more inequality and a lower standard of living than allowing market forces to balance supply and demand based on economic signals. You're conflating markets with inequalities and implilying a causal relationship when the market is simply the scale in the middle attempting to balance consumption with economic contribution. It's almost ironic that markets are the way in which you can achieve this Marxist ideal.
