How does receiving an inheritance automatically make the next generation a “winner” and others “losers”? You haven’t even attempted to define what those terms mean in this context. People receive massive inheritances (or lottery winnings) and spend so much of it that they put themselves in poverty. I wouldn’t call that “winning” at all.

How does someone receiving an inheritance rob you of what’s yours? Provided that the parents did not gain their wealth through fraud or blackmail, you have not been wronged in any way by others acquiring wealth and wanting to pass it on to their kids.

Inheritance is not bribery. Words have meanings, please understand what words mean before you use them.

“Family ism is more primitive than tribalism”. That’s precisely why parents would want to give their children an inheritance in the first place. It gives people a motive to work, save, and invest. Thanks for helping my own argument.

Nothing about my points has remotely suggested that I am in favor of feudal peasantry. Free market economies, not feudalism, has done more to lift people out of poverty than any other economic system in human history. And the notion that the free market is anything like Social Darwinism shows that you know nothing of how either system works. Social Darwinism is the notion that certain people or groups of people succeed because they are inherently superior in some ill-defined way. Free markets just allows people to do with their own property as they see fit, and says nothing about who will prosper and who won’t. Again, if you want to boss other people around and tell them what they can or can’t do with the resources they’ve lawfully acquired, that is nothing more than your own envy talking. I want to give others the freedom to do as they please so long as they don’t defraud others, you don’t want them to have that freedom because you are a socialist.
