... Of course it is? We have things like taxation and social safety nets that allow a society to function. Never mind the simple fact that some places are stressed for resources as it is. That's not to say it can't be done better, but it's naive to think it's "simple". Never mind that simple doesn't necessarily mean easy...

We have things like taxation due to capitalism's inability to create a just society.

There, I fixed it for ya 😉

I'm having a difficult time thinking of any form of society where people don't pool at least some portion of their surplus to help the group as a whole (and lift those up who have a deficit). Are you saying that shouldn't be a thing?
