Abundance

From David Foster at ChicagoBoyz:
I see posts from Left-oriented people who don’t seem to realize that production is necessary at all. The assertion is made that abundance is the natural state of man, and scarcity is caused by capitalists fencing everything off to deliberately create scarcity.
That golden goose belongs to us, and if we feel like it we can kill it! That'll show 'em!

The natural relationship between mother and infant does not scale up well to society.

The natural relationship between mother and child also includes growth, passing out of the infant stage to increasing stages of self-sufficiency that eventually rises to adulthood and freedom. Part of the problem is the desire to freeze the relationship at some stage of childhood: infancy for some, for others that of children organized and constantly under the discipline of their mother. Never free adults who are truly the mother's equal.

Yes, that's why it's not a model for society, and why socialism is nonsense.
