When you become oversocialized, you start to be subservient to the global world - you begin to think in terms of "we" for all of humanity.
Some questions worth asking:
1. Did all alleged parties agreed to be involved?
2. What is the purpose in banding together? What does everyone get out of it?
3. If you somehow solve world hunger, for example, for the 7 billion people on Earth, what do you do when that number reaches 10 billion, or 20, etc? What are your requirements for someone to be receiving these alms? Does the criminal receive the same?
4. What do you do when the mothers and fathers of these new children have absolutely no regard for their offspring? Is it a problem of the state? Again, refer back to question one. Is it within the interest of all of the parties to continue to support people who are too indifferent to prepare a future for their next of kin?
5. Beyond vague appeals to "world good" and all, I mean, sincerely, do you not see that these issues will persist no matter what you do?
If we're going to throw around "shoulds" and "should nots," then how about, "Man should not be ready to show that he can live like a badly-fed animal."
I guess the most vexing thing for me: What does it even mean to fix something as vague as capitalism? Why should I expect anyone to help me, or for me to expect help from anyone else? Appealing to a common good just means you've been duped
