View Full Version : Two questions...

1. I own 30 acres of farm land in Pennsylvania.. Would that be seized from me so there would be no hierarchy, and would it become public?
2. Re-distribution of wealth
Person A: Rich
Person B: Poor
Person A is working hard and his wealth is being transfered to Person B. Person B says he doesn't have to work because he's getting this money. Person A is saying he doesn't have to work because all of his money from work is being taken away. How does money flow then?
Questions before I become an Anarcho-Collectivist.

1. Depends. How much of it do you actually use? 30 acres isn't really that much, but if you didn't actually use it or if the community needed it, it would be seized, at least partially. Very small pockets of private property could potentially carry on.
2. The premises are faulty. Socialism produces collectively for the collective good. You're phrasing it as individuals producing for themselves and having it taken from them.
Also, anarcho-collectivists don't believe in distributing wealth according to need anyway. Maybe you meant anarcho-communism?

There would be no real point to that, but unless you live on it, your kid wouldn't inherit it. We're really concerned about the big plots of land. As for those, corporations are eating those up anyway.

There isn't redistribution under marxism. At least not in the sense that you're talking about. Both Persons A and B would have jobs. And they would both reap the benefits of society. IF one were legitimately just sitting on one's ass and not working when there are great jobs to have, then the other workers could make a decision, make them work, throw them out, wait for their kids to take a place in society, I don't know. What I do know is that those kind of people don't really exist in the millions like some would have you think.

There wouldn't be money in the end, with wages up, and cost almost nothing as we continue to produce well over the profit barrier, money would become pretty much useless. You could simply take what you need.
