@basilfawlty89 my point is our system in a lot of ways is better.
Food, shelter and sanitation sounds good to say its a basic human right, but everything else on the planet basically fights for those things. The strong survive and the weak dont sadly

@Torsten when I say property I mean the big kind. Of course some animals want to have a place they can find shelter in and food to survive. That was us when we were living in caves too. But I won't call a cave "property". As humans we are hyper conscious of our belongings. We see a mere tree and think of profit. I don't think the other animals place such importance on it. And that's how we evolved into a society with money. Do you think we would need money if we didn't love having property?

@HannibalAteMeOut I get what you're saying for sure. A lot of animals are very similar though with property or territory. A cave could very well be considered the property of certain animals .
The tree for profit not so much with animals and I do get what you're saying. Just repeating that to make it clear but i think we have so much more in common with animals compared to what some people would like to believe

The homeless guy on the corner remains anonymous because he owes no taxes.
If he did he would suddenly be of importance.

@bleach It's in a section where he's talking about comforting his daughter after a nightmare woke her up, and he imagines a future world with no greed or violence or fear of death.
Here is the whole thing if you're interested.
