    if you still want to allow individuals to have different levels of wealth.

    I most certainly do not.

      So what’s the allowance for people’s homes in your world? Two rooms and one more for each kid?

          The need part…

          Do i need a home office? Do i need a living room? Do I need a laundry room? Do I need more than two sets of clothes? Do I need a room for my child when she could technically sleep in my room?

          Need is a very squishy word

            We have more than enough to meet everyones needs - food, water, shelter, clothing, health care - many times over. Conveniences are things that are nice-to-have, but that everyone would still enjoy after all their fundamental needs are met. Hoarding for personal gain while other people suffer is hoarding. This is not a philosophically complicated issue.

              I disagree. I don’t think me owning a banana to eat is hoarding even though my vitamins and plain oatmeal would meet my needs.

        probably soviet style flats 2-3 rooms per family. and you can wait 10 years for your government issued car.
