“From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.”

As an infant, I needed everything and could do nothing on my own. For some inexplicable reason, my parents were cool with that.

Later, as I was able, I helped clean the kitchen and mow the lawn. I was provided with room and board free of charge, along with healthcare, dental, clothing.

I’m pretty sure that every functional family is communist. Horrible!
