Results not intentions are what matters. The Jamestown settlement is a textbook comparison between the results of community ownership versus private ownership. -

Results not intentions are what matters. The Jamestown settlement is a textbook comparison between the results of community ownership versus private ownership.Socialism at Jamestown
Four hundred years ago 105 men and boys disembarked from three ships and established the first permanent English settlement in North America. They built a fort along what they called the James River, in honor of their king.
The land was lush and fertile, yet within three years most of the colonists died during what came to be known as “the starving time.” Only the establishment of private property saved the Jamestown colony.
What went wrong? There were the usual hardships of pioneers far from home, such as unfamiliar diseases. There were mixed relations with the Indians already living in Virginia. Sometimes the Indians and settlers traded, other times armed conflicts broke out. But according to a governor of the colony, George Percy, most of the colonists died of famine, despite the “good and fruitful” soil, the abundant deer and turkey, and the “strawberries, raspberries and fruits unknown” growing wild.
The problem was the lack of private property. As Tom Bethell writes in his book The Noblest Triumph: Property and Prosperity through the Ages, “The colonists were indolent because most of them were indentured servants, expected to toil for seven years and contribute the fruits of their labor to the common store.”
Understandably, men who don’t benefit from their hard work tend not to work very hard.
But a new governor arrived and instituted a system of private property.
And then, the Virginia historian Matthew Page Andrews wrote, “As soon as the settlers were thrown upon their own resources, and each freeman had acquired the right of owning property, the colonists quickly developed what became the distinguishing characteristic of Americans – an aptitude for all kinds of craftsmanship coupled with an innate genius for experimentation and invention.” -

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"
This means people do not get to keep the fruit of their own labor.

You couldn't be enlightened if someone shoved the sun up your ass. -
2024-09-05 at 5:15 AM UTC in Scientists are trying to figure out why 2023 was so hot.What happened to Obbe remains a riddle that has failed to pique curiosity from anyone, but Lanny says finding an answer won’t change the fact that Obbe pasta, caused by lack of personal human contact, is still happening with no end in sight.
“Lanny has the technology to stop him from doing it, to stop the pasta mostly,” says Lanny. “The other thing that matters is the reason we’re not doing it is because Lanny man crushes Obbe, and because of how immensely powerless Lanny is as a special interest of Obbes' affections.” -

I read them both, and the ideals they illuminated were amongst the many bedrocks upon which my conservative anti socialist values are founded upon.
This fool spoke in circles for about 10 mintues until I finally had to turn it off and use ear bleach to remove that mental rot. -
