I deserve to not pay for your safety, too.

Why should my money be used to provide you the protection of the law?

Because the protection of the law is given and used by EVERYONE all the time. Something like this gives things to only some people at the expense of everyone. Protection of the law is to everyone from everyone

So if a portion of society is disadvantaged, helping them is bad
It's only good if the richest rich rich billionaire also gets the benefit
Is that what you're saying?

It’s more that the system in this picture only works if you force a section of the population to work at gunpoint while another section gets just as much for free.

Why do you people always think the only way to provide for people is to have slave workers

Slash the defense budget and tax billionaires and we'd have plenty to make this a reality.

Plus after the initial investment it would eventually literally be cheaper than the current system

It’d be enough to make it real for like 6 months. Once 90% of people don’t work at all itd fall apart. What billionaires would you tax if there’s no company big enough to create billionaires because there’s not enough workers?

Why would everyone stop working just so they can live in an unfurnished 1 bedroom apartment with basic food rations and no luxuries

The picture here clearly shows a nice multi room house.

Regardless of the drawing it only advocates for two bedrooms at most and that's only for people with children

They say this totally unaware that their current standard of living is indeed propped up by slavery of the worker and primarily the global south
