RE: “Pragmatists”: Who’s Gonna Pick the Cotton!? [YOUTUBE VERSION]
So the individual is accountable for their own value and as a result responsible for their own demise should their ability to earn enough to survive fail when faced with competition from machines? Or do you propose that all human life be sustained by society even if their contributions are minimal/non-existent?
Of course everyone is responsible for keeping themselves and their families alive. It’s nature. Cavemen didn’t complain about being oppressed. They went out and got food. Thomas Sowell didn’t complain about being oppressed, he made a name for himself with his mind.
Take out the state’s violence, and the ability to survive becomes a million times greater! But, yes, it’s still your responsibility to take care of yourself. Of course!
