All right, this is seeking to understand Kropotkin and the Socialist Part 3.

Um, whence come the fortunes of the rich, a little thought would suffice to show that these fortunes

have their beginnings in the poverty of the poor. When there are no longer any destitute,

there will no longer be any rich to exploit

them. So again, the big question to me is why is this stuff believable? Why is it believable?

So it's really important to remember that our first sense of capital, our first sense of resources,

our first sense of the availability of, say, food and shelter, tends to be, or generally is,

a zero-sum game.

Zero-sum game.

So, let's take some examples from childhood.

So if there is a certain amount of food, let's say it's you and your brother, right?

If there's a certain amount of food, a fixed amount of food, right? It's not,

it's not coming in in a conveyor belt, right? There's a fixed amount of food. Then if your

brother grabs more, you get less. If your brother has more food, you get less food. Let's talk about the best place to watch TV. Maybe there's a real

comfy couch. If your brother gets the couch or that spot, then you don't, and there's a

tussle over it, and it's win-lose. Only one person can get that spot, that space, whatever.

If, you know, sort of back of the day, this is when I was quite young, of course,

there was one TV in the house.

There were no tablets or screens in that way.

So there was one TV in the house.

And if your brother got to watch his show, you didn't get to watch your show.

When there was only one computer, if your brother was on the computer, you weren't on the computer.
