Radical Egalitarianism


On the topic of economics a couple classes ago we went over a philosoher who believes 100% in socialism.. Kai Nielson. He believes in a world where everyone's needs are satisfied as much as possible. His argument for this is that the only want that everyone has in common is that we all want everything we need, and that is why we should all have what we need since a large portion of the world is living in poverty. He ends up giving inconsistent arguments because he has both Kantian points and Utilitarian points.
