RE: Let things fix themselves? Everything auto-corrects? No, people make things change.

Bill has a field of corn. Bill is a farmer.
Bill lives in a town of 54,398 people.
2305 of those people are not eating well.
Is Bill starving his 2300 and five neighbors?
What if Bill’s neighbors applied some causal
force? This, in order to get Bill to share his
crops with them? Maybe they get a police
officer to commandeer Bill’s crops so that
everyone can eat. That’s fair right? I mean
Bill should not be able to starve his neigh-
bor’s right? Or was bill responsible for
feeding them in the first place? Should Bill
be allowed to sell and profit from his corn
if his neighbors could eat the corn for free?

Sort:  

Why can't anyone else grow food to feed themselves? Bill isn't starving anyone necessarily, unless he unjustly owns all land that was never his right to claim and prevents others from being able to live free and survive. Land ownership is a big problem, where no one is able to live free because a long chain of actions has led to some people claiming land as their and selling it, while everyone one comes into existence and can't claim land to use themselves for their own existence. All of civilization is built on unjust foundations that result in our current situation where we are enslaved to a false system.

It's not a perfect system that's for sure. Despite the illusions
of man, in the end the land owns us. Yet, while we are alive
people tend to like to have exclusive dominion over property
that they are all too willing to pay for, even if it's just to rent.
