No, what I’m saying that is that when you’re in Africa and you live in a hunter gatherer tribe, when you work hard to hunt down and kill a zebra on your own, you MUST divide to meat up with your fellow villagers. You cannot and will not be allowed to keep all the meat for yourself.
Now, can you tell me why you MUST give some of that meat to your neighbors?
Well if you live in a primitive African tribal culture, you don’t know how to can or smoke meat. You might be able to dry some of the meat in the sun but a lot of the meat would simply go bad or be covered with flies. Now if you did come up with a pretty good way to dry the meat, your neighbors would see you doing that they would come over and asked for some of your meat. Why? Because you have more than you can eat. Now if you did decide not to share any of the meat, what do you think would happen? It’s very likely that one or more of your neighbors would beat you and take the meat away. I have just described to you the roots of African socialism.
Of course you understand their feelings and you’re perfectly willing to share it because, if you didn’t share the extra meat, a lot of the meat would simply be wasted. Now if you do share the meat with your neighbors, it’s possible that someday they will hunt down a zebra and they will share their meat with you. It doesn’t matter, because it’s always pretty warm where you live and the animals will always be around.
Now I want you to think about a European village where people are growing grains and raising domesticated animals. You have four nearby neighbors and similar to you, three of your neighbors are working hard all summer to grow food, process it and store it for the long winter. However, you see one of your four neighbors is not working very hard to prepare for winter. Halfway through the winter, that one neighbor runs out of food and decides to start stealing extra food from you and your three hard-working neighbors. Rather than tolerating that, you and your three neighbors go and murder the thieving, lazy neighbor. Socialist DNA is eliminated.

As I said.
Human Nature has Common Laws by God. You cannot change those Common Laws.
Common Laws is what bonds all humans together.
