  9. ​ @krasmasov6852  "Most workers don't." Yet some do and still choose to work rather than be self-sufficient. Why is that? "You can't fish and hunt for food while working 70 hour weeks and having an entire family to feed." Who made you have a family to feed? Who made you work 70 hours per week? No one. These are choices that you made. "We have enough food to feed a world of 10 billion people. Why can't it be a guarantee?" Because the coercion that you would engage in to make it a guarantee would undermine the very reason why we have so much food in the first place, in addition to being fundamentally unjust in and of itself. "Reversing the argument will never work for me, bro." I mean, if you want to be intellectually dishonest. "Anything less than giving their employees equal ownership of the business makes me think of them as nothing but labor exploiters who are enemies to be defeated." You can certainly view them that way, but it's baseless. The real enemies to be defeated are the advocates of coercion, theft, and slavery like you. "Making it harder for someone to exploit labor isn't coercion." It is if you're using coercive force to do so. Riddle me this: if people needing to eat in order to not starve to death results in coercion, why is it that the farmers who grow and ultimately control the basic food supply do not charge extremely high prices and become the wealthiest people on the planet, reducing everyone else to utter poverty? Instead the government gives them subsidies because supposedly they don't make enough. What is going on here? The answer is rather simple: competition is going on. Consumers prefer cheaper food to more expensive food all else being equal. A farmer who attempts to impose arbitrarily high prices will fail. The same goes for employers. Employers are in competition with each other. Employers who attempt to impose arbitrarily low wages will fail.
