Logical and moral reasoning about nebulous concepts (such as the "freeloader") is a road to hell.
I grew up in communist Czechoslovakia and back then all bourgeoisie were called freeloaders(or even parasites) because they supposedly don't work, don't provide value, just extract profits from capital. Is that true or why it's not true? Clear as mud.
I started this thread by pointing out that religious and cultural texts ask us to cancel debts. For thousands of years. And in societies that had much less surplus production of everything. Not do it all the time, but once you do it, just cancel all of them, not pick debtors that "provide value". Is that bad and immoral advice?
