But don't really feel much compassion for people that collect welfare without putting in any work.
The difference is you believe human beings should be required to sell their labor for a wage to survive, I don't. I think survival (and education) is a birthright, and we should
work only to gain access to our various luxuries.
You believe human beings should be allowed to starve and die of exposure every winter (and in capitalism they DO, by the millions), I don't. I think we all have a right to exist.
Your nation-state indoctrination* has replaced your in-born compassion with horrific and logically unsound
social darwinism.
*read - brainwashing
Ending the welfare state doesn't mean you want people to starve to death. I just told you I felt compassion for people without food.
What you are describing sounds an awful lot like socialism to me. How are you going to accomplish all this without central planning?
