1. They'd take everything you give them

2. They'd insult you for being stupid enough to give shit away for nothing

3. they'd fight and steal amongst themselves for whatever they can get from each other

4. they'd do everything they can to stop you

5. they'd complain and demonize you for stopping.

but MAYBE the kids they have that you're feeding will grow up to be slightly less shitty.

They might be nicer, but they won't change their political views. Voters in Germany generally have their basic needs met (thanks to Art. 1 GG). Around 80% of them are still explicitly supporting right-wing political parties on the federal level, whose policies will leave most Germans poorer than they were before.

The unfortunate reality is that a lot of people - even when they don't want to say it - have an underlying belief in a hierarchy of "betters" and "others" that they want to uphold. And sadly, no amount of education has proven suitable to fix that.

Those are the people who have their needs met.

*Offer does not apply to anyone who committed war crimes or billionaires

If I understand right, this was the original meaning of the term “outlaw”. You don’t abide by the law, but you’re also not protected by it.

Someone stole your TV? Good luck getting it back!

I'd say most people get cross when they are not allowed to make their own mistakes, so something like that would make sense.

Yeah, we still use Caitlyn Jenner's preferred name and pronouns in spite of her being a raging Trump supporter. Same with Blaire White.

"What if someone you hate is alive and not hurting anyone, would you want to impact their lives negatively?" Some people are rough.

They're so filled with hate, it doesn't even occur to them that other people might not be. It's just projection all the way for them.

There aren't a lot of people who get richer when economic output is lower. Sure, there are some in some specific scenarios, but for the most part rich assholes support pro-poverty policies not because they stand to benefit, but because they are assholes, or more likely simply because they are ignorant. They aren't very different from the lumpen proletariat demanding policies against their own interests in that regard.

I may have some bad news for you about conditions inside many prisons...

I get the impression you think you're being clever but you're just saying "I don't" in a different font

who do you think doesnt deserve to have their needs met?

Just because I like a little pineapple on my pizza?!

Never? Really?

I interpret the post relating to underprivileged folks still requiring government assistance regardless of how many welfare cheats there are.

Funny thing is that in a perfect ideal society, communism and capitalism both result in maximum equality and ultimate prosperity.

The "free market" is inherently corrupt. Its natural conclusion is a single almighty corporation that owns everything. That's why regulation is necessary to rein it in.

All needs by the government. Personal responsibility for leisure.

You balance it against wealth equality, aim for the most wealthy people to have enough to own 1 yact but the least wealthy still have at least a studio apartment to live in. Everyone gets firsts before anyone gets seconds.

All basic needs should be provided for. Anything beyond basic needs should be your own responsibility. So food, shelter, health and wellbeing, education, security, defense, and access to infrastructure should all be provided as a part of the public good.

And before you say it, people will still want more than just their basic needs met, so almost all will still find work to do. They just no longer have to accept the jobs that require people to be threatened with death to take them.

Don't be pedantic. Doing nothing while people are dying on the street means the system needs to change. Tweak it until until (ideally) no one is dying on the street. That doesn't mean we wipe everyone's ass for them and it doesn't mean we won't have homeless people (I used to know a dude that wanted to be homeless and proudly proclaimed himself a "street person" to anyone who asked). It means everyone has their basic needs met. Food, water, a safe place to sleep, education, and a wage that covers the basic costs of living. If someone needs help we help them because we are a community and communities take care of each other.

Our PROBLEM is the current system is catered to the top tier of the ultra rich and "pretends" any scraps thrown our way are us being irresponsible leaches. But we pay a ungodly percentage of our income in taxes (not just income taxs, but every sale, every regressive tax) to a government that gives almost nothing back while calling us freeloaders and then we get bogged down in conversations about "individual responsibility." We can have conversations about individual responsibilities after congress works full time, the pentagon can pass an audit, military generals don't retire and go to work for defence contractors, and billionaires get their goddamn fingers out of the white house (and it wasn't just under trump they had their fingers in the government pie).

Food, shelter, health care, education are provided for all, regardless of contribution or ability to contribute.

I'm not sure how to pay for that, how to deal with metric gaming, or people who dont want the above. Also how to deal with externalities like climate change or conflicts.... But I can dream!

The balance is that a full time job should enable you to provide the basic needs for yourself.
