Tell me why food and housing shouldn't be free and available for everyone?
Tell me why food and housing shouldn't be free and available for everyone?
well it should be but it isn't therefore it shouldn't be and everybody has to work for their keep.
Not everyone should have food, shelter, or a continued existence.
Beyond that everyone else should have a clean area to live, nutritious food, pure water to drink, and a bit of personal space to work in or store what they cherish.
>free
that doesn't mean what you think it means. I know you are fucking troll poster, but some fags might believe your shit. food doesn't just make itself, and houses don't build themselves. to get someone to grow the food and build the house you either pay them, and that money has to come from somewhere, or you force them to do it with the threat of violence. Now if you choose the second option that is slavery.... so what if you choose the first option? well governments can't just print money, if you do that the money becomes worthless.... the money supply must be either based on something (gold) which is a scarce resource, or limited artificially, or based on the estimated value of labor. Since our money supply is limited, the government must get it from somewhere.... and that is taxes. So if we tax earnings, or property, we are again having someone, somewhere, pay for your "free" stuff. TL;DR nothing is free faggot
>a bit of personal space to work in or store what they cherish.
So a few terabytes of porn and a "gaming chair" to sit in while beating their meat... if you're a typical Yea Forumstard
It is free to everybody
Wood grows in trees and food grows in the ground all you have to do is get it
If you can provide it entirely by yourself? Sure. But you can't. Many other people are required to grow,raise,process,package and ship your food. Many people are required to gather,obtain,ship and plan how to build your house. These people deserve a fair wage for all the work they put in to providing the things you want. You're not entitled to someone else's labour for free.
It's funny how these people are all about raising the minimum wage to 40 dollars an hour but when it comes to paying _somebody else_ for their time and expertise 404 communism not found
Yes. Everyone should have a black slave to build their house and plow their field.
Black slaves can enslave each other, keeping in line with everyone getting free shit.
Humans are inefficient and jealous gluttons. It would never work.
economics aren't their strong suit. Its why they think communism is a good idea.
Because I worked for my food. I worked to buy my house. I worked my ass off. And now these stupid crazy liberals want everything for free, they want it all for free and they don't want to work. They want to be lazy and get their $600 every month. But I'm a hard worker tax paying citizen and I refuse to let lazy loony liberals be neets on my tax dollars.
Not when Bill Gay is buying up all the farm land.
Most leftists just don't like seeing disadvantaged people needlessly suffer, which is reasonable. The issue is you can't save everyone.
Tory detected
Most liberals are creepy communists and they're trying to destroy america. If I have to work for my keep then so does everyone else. It's only fair
because you cant even healthcare free
Ah so you do comprehend that there is limited supply of things
Because no one is entitled to the fruits of another person's labor. These things take work to produce.
Everyone gets fucked in all countries. It’s obviously a problem above the usually capitalism debate
because you're gay and I hate you
Well you see, our current system is the most advanced system so far to have exist. The rich are now richer and more powerful than ever, and slaves think they are freer than ever. We have also produced more waste and inefficiencies than ever. So you see, that is why not everyone can have free food and housing, because that would make the rich less rich.
You're not entitled to the labor of others. that's called slavery. The reason you pay is because things are being provided as a service. You don't necessarily need those water pipes, go fetch your own water for free. You don't need that deli ham, go hunt your own food. But because you won't/can't, you pay others as compensation for the service to provide those things to you
Why do you think everyone should be forced to provide free food and shelter for pedophiles? Go fuck yourself
yeah yeah okay how?
>You're not entitled to the labor of others. that's called slavery.
You mean like how the rich take your labor and make profit for themselves out of it many times over than their own labor?
>The reason you pay is because things are being provided as a service.
Charities exist. Families exist. Not everything has to be give and take, traded or whatever. We can make a better system for that.
>fetch your own water for free... hunt your own food
Because the concept of land ownership and making the collection of rainwater illegal exists, These are fictional concepts that solely exist in a system designed by the rich to keep them rich.
The availability of jobs is In essence the real UBI of American society. Once technology makes basic labor obsolete, then you will see everything begin to be free. Labor is the real driver of value, once we no longer need labor, we no longer need money.
The Venus Project
because all men are created equal
Even in the communist countries you can move to things aren't free
Don't be a fucking moron
This is so tedious.
My dad is one of these types. Says companies are "evil" for paying people as little as possible.
When I asked him if he takes his car to the more expensive mechanic or the cheaper one, and what the difference between THAT and a company doing the exact same fucking thing is, he babbled something about "it's not the same" and just got angry.
I swear to god 99% of people are fucking financially retarded and they just get angry at "the system" because of their shit life choices. Imagine being 60 and having literally nothing to show for it. The most valuable thing he owns is a shit car that's worth like 2000€.
Which I bought him.
Also on another note he continually raves on about how great socialism was back in ye olde Yugoslavia because "it's not like we lacked anything".
"Then why did you come here to live with vestern capitalist pigs, if things back home were so great?"
Again he just gets angry.
There are no communist countries at the moment. All is late-stage capitalism, which is about to implode.
You know, just like Marx predicted.
Define free. Free just from a monetary perspective? Or free from a work/labour perspective as well? No matter what you do with your life, food and shelter should always be given to you? Note the word given. If it's all free, where is it coming from? Where is the food produced? And how? Who is going to build the house?
Stop with the stickman bullshit. You're calling for a collectivist society, one where individual rights do not matter whatsoever. Every single place communism has been tried, it has led to greater suffering. The global average income per capita for the last 2000 years, in 2011 dollars, was roughly $1000... until the 1700s when it began to exponentially increase to where it is today. Guess what? That's due to capitalism, made possible by the rule of law and protection of private property. If you remove that for your collectivist bullshit, we'll return to the dark ages.
So tl;dr, fuck you.
cringe names
>Most leftists just don't like seeing disadvantaged people needlessly suffer
Most people don't like seeing this, including conservatives on the right. The difference is those on the right know you don't solve the problem by just giving handouts
Moron. You're a bigger cuck conspiracy theorist than flat earthers and fake lunar landers
oy vey
The simple truth user is that it should and could be. What keeps it from being free is that society would decimate itself. We live in an increasingly complex world that teeters on the brink of destruction every day. Telling the entire population that they don't need to struggle to live would result in a bunch of people realizing how stupid modern life really is. If you have a house and some land, you can live off of it completely free from the government. Grab some chickens, some seeds, some fertilizer, and eventually you can get something that will never require you to visit a city again. The only thing keeping a huge portion of the population from doing this is the price of housing and land. If you had enough people doing this it would be completely feasible for Amish-like communities to pop up and care for themselves, but this type of "simple living" would affect everything. Sales for movies, sales for video games, college enrollment, potential hiring pools, military recruitment, etc. The government and those with money have every reason not to make these things free. Perhaps its better this way? Otherwise we would have slower technological progress and likely would get conquered. Hard to say without seeing it in action.
The problem with capitalism is that money makes money. This is fine short term but overtime it inevitably makes a feedback loop that leads to wealth consolidation. A few with all the money and the majority with very little. It's like a bug in the coding that breaks the entire system. To fix capitalism we need to find a way to patch and remove the ability to invest money, or to otherwise make money with money. The only way to make money should be through equivalent work. The only way to attain goods should be with this money. If everyone who was rich got there by actually putting in the work, I feel like a lot of our issues would be solved. Maybe blocking the ability to pass down wealth would be good too. Even if your dad was rich, you'll be broke if you don't work hard too. Imagine how much better society would be if everyone was actually trying to do a good job, because there was actual reward for it! lol. Imagine working 2 jobs, not just to survive, but to become rich!
>KRANCH being a portmanteau of "Ketchup" and "Ranch"
>Highlighting the KRA- in KRANCH to indicate it as part of the word "Ketchup"
that's jsut lazy branding
Free food and homes would inevitably be low quality or degrade overtime. Then you've got a slum world.
>the rich take your labor and make profit for themselves out of it many times over than their own labor
Typical, assuming wealth and value are created purely by labour. No, the wealthy became wealthy by executing on ideas. The execution of those ideas require labour. Believing the distribution of earnings should be flat is pure retardation.
>Not everything has to be give and take, traded or whatever. We can make a better system for that.
Sure, I can agree with this, but it still belies a collectivist mentality. Charities, good. Families, good. But now you're sounding like a conservative. As you get to bigger non-local collectives, who make the organizational decisions? Heil Stalin.
>Because the concept of land ownership and making the collection of rainwater illegal exists
Yes land ownership is a good thing. And rainwater collection is not illegal in most states. What the fuck are you talking about?
>I've been fucked in my ass working a shit job all my life so everyone else should also be getting fucked in the ass working shit jobs
This is retarded.
Because they cost money and there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Oh no, how terrible! Slums in America, could you imagine?
satan convinced the world they had to pay to eat, pay to drink, and pay to be clothed
I hate people who write diatribes. I'm not reading your wall, bro. Learn to be to the point.
Good post
Do you want to live in slums? This is a weird kind of irony you are projecting, user.
because free doesn't exist.
Oppression in communist countries:
>Half of my family starved to death, i had to risk being caught and executed for trying to escape
Oppression in capitalst countries;
>HELP A COMAPNY MIXED MAYO AND KETCHUP, THIS IS LITERALLY SLAVERY
>Twitter for iphone
i think you are confusing "liberals" with progressives. They are not the same thing.
What a load of horseshit. That quote is literally just stating a tautology. Fuck no wonder you Marxists are so retarded
>To fix capitalism we need to find a way to patch and remove the ability to invest money, or to otherwise make money with money. The only way to make money should be through equivalent work.
That's a solid idea
tldr
magical thinking opinion discarded into the white trash bin
No, you will just have too much money in the economy and no one making anything, everyone will have lots of money, but nothing to spend it on.
Some points require more than two sentences, you dumb baboon nigger
Elon Musk doesn't have billions because of other peoples labor. He maintains the web site, does the packaging and shipping every day himself.
If you work for a job that is not a stakeholder format yer a better paid deluded slave with a lack of critical thinking
>Why do you think everyone should be forced to provide free food and shelter for pedophiles? Go fuck yourself
Don't worry, these community provided programs will be available to you as well. Though housing in yer case might be more restrictive
That's why he got rich. Through hard work.
>Tell me why...housing shouldn't be free and available for everyone?
Because land is finite and can never be distribted fairly. California is a good example. Everyone wants to live by the coast, generally within 30 minutes drive to the ocean, because the climate is more favorable by the ocean. But what happens when all land by the sea is taken? The only way is to start moving further inland. In a capitalist society, land is simply more expensive by the sea and cheaper the further inland you go. In your utopian version of conmunism, such land would never be given away fairly because some areas just have intrinsically higher value so the government is now burdened with having to force late comers into living in the desert.
Stakeholder capitalism is retarded and so are you
Yeah, it's unimaginable for zeros to be missing... Better to just get rid of this undesired species. As a warning to all good and worthwhile species to the cosmos
>paid deluded slave
>paid slave
>paid
>slave
You're retarded.
Nice simple example. Nice.
It is sad that we are not a "christian" nation or have people the believe in god and his teachings.
I think religion is bs myself, but these capitalists REALLY need Jesus
They already have satan, dude
If I toss a penny at my slave he suddenly is free? The hell kinda logic is.... oh, ya.... yer mental state
Paid what dude? You are top.00000001% of the world and your next month of sleep is a matter of suggestion..
failed avatarfag, kill yourself
So we just have to get rid of the real world. Start living in a perfectly balanced flat digital void world.
Tell my why you don’t have any marketable skills and need to rely on taxation of others to subsist
Really? Do I need to link you to a dictionary to look up the definition of a slave? Fuck you're retarded.
I guess your free then.
Extinct this shit, already
It can be if you know how to build your own home and hunt and gather your own food.
