You are back at arguing a strawman 🫠

I never once said anything about someone needing something more than you do. I talked about actually using it or not. That is not hard to determine at all and it is also not hard to determine if someone has a genuine need for a house for example.

And no one every said anything about work not being rewarded. Seriously, read again what I wrote. I said the exact opposite… rents, inheritance and stealing other people’s personal property (by claiming it is private property) are means of withholding and extracting value without any work.

And you are again confusing private property with personal property / ownership. Yes everyone has personal property… that’s fine. No one is coming for your toothbrush. Don’t worry!

That toothbrush you have. I need it more. Give it here. I’m coming for the toothbrush.

But if someone else would come and ask if they can use it since evidently you don’t, there is not much you could do about it other that asking them to voluntarily reimburse you for your costs

Here you are, talking about someone being able to take a garage that I converted into a living space, because they need it more that I am using it. So yes, you did say that someone could take my stuff from me.

How would you genuinely determine need for a house? Who is going to build houses if someone else just gets to live in them for free? What’s the motivation for building houses?

And no one every said anything about work not being rewarded.

No, but it’s implicit in the quote from Karl Marx* that you sent me earlier. From each by ability to each by need covienently forgets about the efforts of each. Which is an inherent flaw of Marxism.

That would be stealing. Did you even read what I just wrote?

Woah woah woah there! I’m not stealing. I just really need that toothbrush, badly, and I can take it from you and I don’t have to pay you for it. I should give you some money maybe, but I’m certainly not legally compelled to, so I won’t. Didn’t you read anything you wrote?
