Personal responsibility. It's a bitch.

and if people did not have to care about it, they would be more productive.

So who should be responsible? No-one? Or are we saying that's the government's job? To be responsible for every one?

I can't imagine what a society of irresponsible people might look like. Oh wait a sec... it's the fucked up society I'm currently living in.

hey that dude likes making potatoes, lets leave him with his potatoes.
hey that other dude likes milking cows, let him milk cows.

first dude: "hey i have way too many potatoes, here is some".
second dude: "i have too much milk, here is some."

there was no trade, and both parties are happy and did what they liked.

capitalism:
both dudes either needs to do both things(which they don't like), or have long and tiresome negotiations to finally exchange some potatoes for some milk.
