| Question 77: Is it a character flaw to be lazy in an exploitive system? |
| [143] McDugall: A person taking advantage of any system to benefit only themselves is a character flaw. The goal of the community is to help everyone and reward everyone fairly. When such a system is in place, the system needs everyone to work fairly and to the best of their ability to help maintain the equality. A character flaw hurts the community when the flaw is consciously expressed to further the personal goals of the individual. Marx would consider such activity a character flaw. |
| Hans: Do these rules also apply to a social order which does not have the goal to help everyone and reward everyone fairly, but one which systematically transfers wealth from those who produce it to an elite class which controls the means of production? |
