    I get this sentiment, but why would anyone want to farm then? Who does the work? Hell, in the US we need immigrants to do it because nobody else will. I guess my response to this will always be ok if nobody has to work, then who will, and why? And if nobody decides to work, then there won’t be the resources to make it so that nobody has to work. Nobody has ever replied with a solution to that aside from “well if we’re in a post-scarcity world then we don’t need people to work…” but we’re not. Not even close.

    It’s kind of like libertarianism in my mind. If there are no rules and everyone is self sufficient, then who’s to stop the people who don’t want to earn their keep from just using force against those who do?
