    Who wouldn’t put their income before your wellbeing when push came to shove?

        Funny thing is when socialists make some money they stop being socialists.

          It’s almost like their class interests changed and class interests influence behavior.

          Almost like it’s proving their point. Capitalist critique is not about individual “bad” people but about a system with perverse and harmful incentives.

        Imaginary altruistic socialists after murdering everyone that doesn’t support socialism?

      Context matters. Would you choose to go make a little bit of money or help someone who was about to be killed?

        You just invented a scenario where the landlord stands to lose very little and the tenant stands to lose their life.

          In every scenario the stakes vary between involved individuals.

      In any of the systems we’ve tried since the species got agrarian—especially Capitalism whenever it’s Fascism Hammer Time—not the average person that’s for a certainty.

      They’re too busy surviving.

      In a proper society where we (the collective We, but really ~2k dragons) used the same tools we used to separate us to instead expand the sense of the tribal umbrella so that the species innate selfish altruism could shine?

      A whole lot more folks whose part would be exactly like in the fabric of society, comfortable and without a thought of want for they know We got their backs too.
