Why pay for something you can get for free? See: Communism.
| This is a common myth surrounding communism. It does not sugegst that you get stuff for 'free'. The basis of the society is that any produce you make belongs to the community as a whole. Thus everyone gets a little piece of what society produces according to their need, as long a they input into the community. So the idea that communism is a 'free ride' is ridiculous and totally misses the point of what communism actually is.
Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.
