When a coworker asked me why I was a communist, I told her that I think everyone should have the right to housing, healthcare, food, water, and other things that sustain life. She said, “See, that’s where I disagree. I don’t believe those things are human rights. You’re not entitled to go to the doctor just because you’re alive, somebody has to pay for that.”
Yeah, if somebody just flat out disagrees with the premise that if we have the means to help everybody, we should help everybody, that there shouldn’t be arbitrary price barriers for the sake of price barriers, for the sake of ensuring somebody doesn’t get their needs met, for its own sake - if that’s their stance I still have no idea where to begin.
How do you get other people to experience ego death even once in their lives?
