No, I don't mean modern political hostility to America. I mean commitment to the Marxist principle "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need." When the first tribes of humans came down out of the trees and formed societies, the tribes which survived were those in which the hunters bringing home the game shared it with those who had not hunted with them but still needed to eat, such as the women and children.
Would the idea of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" be desirable for us to pursue today? Would it be natural for us to do so, in keeping with our basic human nature?
