Political Memes

I agree 100% with you. Everyone wants to be a socialist/communist until they realize that you still have to put in your fair share. There isn't some magical system where everything is suddenly free for everyone. Mooching off others isn't the way ANY economic system works. It's what we have now, and it's failing. Just because it's you instead of some fat cat doesn't change the fact that someone is trying to get something for free. Everyone works so that everyone prospers. What needs to change is who owns the labor. You work for what you have, not what someone else takes from you. Maybe one day we can live in an automated utopia where all our basic needs are provided for us, but we aren't there yet, and anyone who says we are is ignoring the other thread they just spent ten minutes writing a comment in about how the AI bubble is about to burst.
