        I am saying, you don’t have a right to another man’s property even if you are starving. Private entities have no responsibility to distribute food material to you and you are not entitled to it. However, I am ok with government helping people who are homeless, I am ok and indeed support food kitchens.

          It’s good of you to sum up the cancer of liberal ideology in a single paragraph. The problem is with allowing privatization of necessities of life, which you have no problem with. Instead of addressing the root cause you advocate addressing the symptoms. Homelessness and hunger should not exist in the first place. Labour and resources of the society should be directed towards addressing the needs of everyone instead of creating profits for a capital owning minority.

          Then private entities don’t deserve to exist. I’m sorry that I don’t have much sympathy for some mega corporation when real people are dying.

          Also, where do you think government aid comes from? In capitalist countries it’s definitely almost all from taxes on private entities. In socialist countries, it’s from collectivized state-run industries, seized from private entities during the revolution. I think the latter is a better way of doing it in every way.
