Help! help! my quarter acre section is holding me prisoner!Your need to own property enslaves you. Why would you need more stuff in a society everything is free?
Oh bullshit, I don't need to own anything, I like owning certain things, I do it of my own accord. Breathing however, now that's something I'm enslaved to, and it's free...
Tell me, how is it okay to own lots of free things as opposed to things that are a measure of your value relative to other people over time? Actually, how are the things you have in socialism any more 'free' than those earned by an individual? In my case I would get less than present because I earn above average, it's only the able and lazy that realistically get anything free - The disabled got the shit straws in the genetic lottery and it takes them a lot of effort just to survive, I'm more than happy providing for someone in that circumstance. Besides, it's my ability to purchase objects of desire than motivates me to work hard and up-skill.

Tell them what? How about 'Stop having more children than you can afford to comfortably provide for'?
