>your questions seem absurd and baity
No, it's a genuine question, and IMO a genuine concern. If the commune supposedly takes care of people, the food and resources have to come from somewhere, right? So it might be a problem if people take from the community without contributing an equal or higher amount. Sounds like a legitimate issue, no?
>It also requires far more effort to answer questions that you're asking
To be fair, I've made like 5 posts asking for an answer, plus the probably dozens of times I've asked this throughout the years, with little to no answer.
>Well, what happens to those people under capitalism, a system in which you have to work to get money to get food to survive? They get assistance from friends, family, neighbors—the community.
But the issue is that THOSE people need to work in order to have the extra resources to help others out. Which then brings up other issues.
How does one get extra resources? From extra work? So one's rewards for work are based on the effort, time, or skill involved? Also, what's the motivation to help someone out if they're just gonna continue to be lazy, ie why work to feed someone else's laziness. In fact, why work yourself if others will take care of you?
If someone's needs are met, what exactly is motivating them to be productive in life? Pure good will?
See what I mean? This raises other issues.
