"master’s degree in a STEM field"...which discipline/field? There are many. And there are a lot of people who claim their degree is STEM that aren't actually STEM.

The “from each according to his abilities” socialist principle which says that after all private property is given up, all must contribute their labor to the common enrichment.

Not voluntarily. Unless you count such folks as the early Christians, Shakers, Amish, kibbutz residents, etc.

That's why socialism/communism has never been implemented successfully and never will.

I see it every day...people will always default to the lowest common denominator when the reward to acheive is gone. When everyone gets the same regardless of effort put in, the workforce stagnates and revert to,the person who contributes least.

And...you have no right to what my efforts and hard work has gained me. I won't give it up without a fight and will resort to violence to protect what is mine.

You could get the ball rolling by relinquishing all of your personal property - I'm guessing you don't believe in communism/socialism that much, however.

We’re trying to address private ownership of private property (which I don’t have), not personal property.

You see it every day because work is seldom rewarded in this, capitalist, society. You would see much less of that in socialist society. I would call the elimination of homelessness in E. Germany and later Cuba a success. How about you?

Nope...it shouldn't be my responsibility to raise the standard of life of those unwilling to do it for themselves.

Your inability to purchase private property gives you no right to claim what I have should be everyone else's.

That's what castle doctrines were set up to protect. And, what people will discover if they attempt to take what I own.

Why do you continue to lie about NO homeless in Cuba and remain living in America if socialism is your dream

You will never get socialism in Montana

So you reject the fundamental premise of civilization (restraining the most bestial means of self-gratification in order to prevent atrocities) and on the basis of that rejection declare socialism a failure.

Hairs split.

A crucial distinction made.
