We already know that London-based comedian Avery Edison believes that “billionaire” should be considered a slur and that capitalism is a “cancer on society,” and now the temperature on the socialist hot takes has been turned up:
Remember babes, there’s nothing moral about work, and you are have basic human rights to food, water, shelter, and health care (among other things) whether or not you work. pic.twitter.com/b63rpFToE5

There’s a tweet that collapses quickly under its own weight!
Teaching moment: why socialism is inherently violent/cruel.
It takes a LOT of laborers to create and distribute food, etc.
This person believes in enslaving all the workers required to provide the services she demands for herself and her friends free-of-charge.
Socialism=slavery https://t.co/LxCfRcT3Fe— Stephen Herreid (@StephenHerreid) July 14, 2018
Everything you say we have a right to requires the work of another person for you to enjoy it.
If you believe you have a *right* to other people's work, then you support slavery.
Essentially, an entire slave class would be required to satisfy your sense of entitlement. https://t.co/D8wZe0RSke

Because you exist, someone else is responsible for providing the necessary things to continue that existence.
If I’m misunderstanding the point of the tweet please feel free to explain how. https://t.co/qS02Mfosno

I can understand why someone who doesn’t produce much of value would insist they are entitled to things that are the result of other people’s hard work for free. https://t.co/GUDZc8KTLQ

If nobody’s working we can’t wait to see who’s going to be working to produce all that “free” stuff.
You understand that for you to have shelter, and health care somebody has to work, right? https://t.co/PFAlkzPCR9

Right!?
Edison eventually doubled down:
Why “NEVER WORK”?
Our planet is rich enough with resources that everyone on it could be kept nourished, sheltered, and healthy with only a small amount of labor from each person—labor of not nearly enough suffering and sacrifice to count as what we currently define as “work”.
— Avery Edison (@aedison) July 13, 2018
The reason so many people have to labor so hard and so long right now is that they (we) are supporting a relative few who do not labor at all. If we all labor together, “work” won’t be anything like our current conception of it.

Is that so?
