Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[BorisTheSpider]

I don't believe in indiscriminate welfare. Probably only a handful of people do

Yeah but that's the whole thing about collectivising things like this - what's indiscriminate to you or me is not to someone else. Everyone has their own individual feelings about who deserves and doesn't deserve help. Trying to arrive at some average set of values that everyone could largely agree with in terms of deciding who/what should receive help seems a pretty fruitless task to me given the great variety of cultures and values even in relatively similar groups of people.

I see the problem, but I don't think it's insurmountable. The US Constitution, for example, is a bunch of liberties that we have all effectively agreed upon, and even if some disagree, because we're all one society, we can overrule them and be right about it

It will always involve compromise. We tend to view things as black and white, but the truth is that all the things we take for granted as true are really just compromises.
