I think the issue with modern society when it comes down to it is we pretend we're not playing a long running game of monopoly when we are. There's a fixed amount of resources on Earth. It's weird to look at the new generation entering this game and say that this is the way it needs to be, when they didn't have any involvement in how it came to be. The entire idea of land ownership or resource ownership is strange when you think about it.
We've mostly decided as a society that taking other folks resources by force is wrong, essentially cementing the last generation of folks that did so successfully as the aristocracy.
If the nonviolent polite resource sharing society we've tried / are trying to construct is to last, resource sharing of some sort must be enforced (taxes, etc.).
