    I don’t agree that capitalism is a good system, but I also agree that those who can work should work, because that’s the only way society can function and get better.

    If we were a hunter gatherer tribe and no one hunted or gathers we would die.

    Just because we have cars and computers doesn’t mean no one has to grow food or sell food or clean the water and build the houses.

      From each according to their ability. To each according to their need.

        I agree with the “to their ability” but not so much with “to their need”

        If everyone worked to just sustain themselves, those left in the fringes suffer and die. We need people who are willing to work more than what they need to in order to provide for those who are unable to provide for themselves.
