The distribution of wealth and freedom

Thinking that humanity functions as an organic tissue leads to conclusions that do not conform to reality.

You may think that humanity is an organic tissue made ​​up of millions of cells. More precisely, composed of seven billion cells, as this is the amount of humans based on more recent data (2012).

As any comparison (world population compared with an organic tissue), has a very fit reality on sparse precarious.

These comparisons are similar to temporary use of an inadequate tool, for example, hammering something with a screwdriver handle, cut a paper with a knife instead of scissors, make a move in a passenger car instead of a truck.

Consigned these caveats, we might think of something referred to pathological poverty, while this is the central theme of the blog.

Just to see how far we can say that the circulatory system of organic tissues is responsible for feeding every cell and is also responsible for removing the waste that might call cell droppings.

The circulatory system appears to have a socialist distribution criterion, while assigned to each cell the amount of food it needs.

The Socialists say: "every citizen will give supplies as needed and ask every citizen contributions according to their means."

This formula seems very reasonable, but why does not it work in practice?

I think the difference is that the cells do humans think and do. Or we can say the difference is that housing cells under absolute tyranny and human brain, living in a dictatorship, we have difficulty accepting that total submission.

Conclusion: Humanity does not function as an organic tissue.
