      But why would some people not benefit more than average by bartering then by sharing? They would get benefit from both, but it seems like some people could get more benefit than the average community benefits through alternative channels, since not everyone will produce the exact same amount of value.

        “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need”

        Your focus on arbitrarily determining who creates more value is a by-product of our capitalist society

          But it’s one that any slightly selfish person will realize. And if any one person is even slightly selfish, the whole system collapses

            One selfish person wouldn’t cause the entire system to collapse – what? lol Read my other comments in this thread.

            When your needs are met by the state, you tend to be less selfish. Or not selfish at all since you don’t need to hoard the item. Besides Conquest of Bread, I’d suggest reading Wage-Labor And Capital for more understanding. At least if you are legit wanting to learn.
