They don't need to control the means of production. Simply provide minimum necessary housing, nutrition, and medical care. No one should starve to death, die of preventable illness because they can't afford care, or end up homeles

Those are fuel canisters for a white gas stove. Pretty common below freezing because standard butane ones don't work well in the cold without a special fuel mixture. Although they make stoves that you can turn the canister over and it

We could socialize the necessities of survival like all the other civilized countries in the world.

This is pretty normal on YouTube. YT added a feature to try different titles and thumbnails and provides analytics for each one to see what the engagement looks like.

Funny that you think billionaires follow laws.

Your reality sounds suspiciously similar to the lies told on the media platforms owned by the shiny billionaires.

Or, hear me out, we could socialize health care and tax the rich rapists that are currently running the country to end poverty in the richest country in the world.

It depends on context for sure. Without a specific case study you can't really say. However, in general, they are not exclusive. This has been demonstrated fairly often. In fact, it is often the case that maximizing liberty leads to mo

Yeah, even worse is that you can leverage the contributions of the briber to make the coin appear to be increasing in worth over time and dupe people into investing in it. This allows you to make ten times more than the amount of the bribe.

Why would there be insufficient workers relative to non-workers? Socializing health care, shelter, and food does not lead to a worker shortage. In fact, having a healthier and taken care of population leads to prosperity in general. In addi

I personally could retire today. Most people can't. There is no referendum I remember where we decided to raise the retirement age. It seems like our government just kind of decided to do so.

You apparently know very little about me. Edit: Although, when my time comes as it inevitably will, I think the wilderness would be a nice place to do it. Maybe in a tree.

There is in fact a we. It's just not based on race, religion, ethnicity, language, gender, or sexuality. "We" are the ones who create and work for a living instead of living off the backs of others. "They" are immen

Social security is an entitlement. They have taken money from your paycheck to fund it. In fact, they have taken more from your paycheck than they will pay back to you in order to pay for an aging population. The extra goes to bonds which t

My own answer is this. We have created a system of exploitation where we extract value from people's labor and transfer it to an oligarchicy that is slowly increasing in power. Governments are captured by that ruling class and are unwi

Yes, you should be asking similar questions about most basic laws and concepts behind how western society works.

What about the people who do not make enough to save and all their money goes to inflated living expenses? When do they get to retire?

I know why they are able, what I want people to think about is "Why." The kidnapper has a reason.

The choice between working and starving to death is not a choice. If your savings have been taken by the government, then you don't have a choice. The justification is to force people to work until they are too old to do so. Then steal

It is really easy to "Fuck it up" when greedy assholes jack up the price of necessities like food, shelter, and medical care. 66% of bankruptcies are due to medical costs. We should just socialize necessities like food, shelter, a

I wouldn't mind taxes if everyone paid their fair share and it went to improving the lives of everyone instead of the wealthy few. We live in the most productive times per capita that have ever existed. Why do we need to scrimp and sav

In an attempt to steelman, you are saying: "There is no moral justification for the government setting a retirement age, but they are able to. So it doesn't matter."

Why does the government get to decide when we retire?

This isn't something the government gives you. It is something they have confiscated and held on to. > Your duty as a citizen is to work and build your nation What about the duty of the trust fund babies and idle wealthy? What about

This boils down to a "Might makes right" claim. It doesn't answer the question why. Only how.
