I say that might does make right. The reason is natures way. The Lion can eat the zebra if it is strong enough to kill it. Also if might does not equal right than everybody has to divide there wealth equally with everyone in the world. You wouldnt have the right to live better than any body else on the planet. Fundimentally, might does make right. But, the basic most primitive technology for securing a claim or and idea is a showing of superior force. However, securing a claim based on superior force has little ablility to ensure this because philosophy ensures that a claim or idea is protected. In this case, might does not make right.

I do in a way agree with your statement! It is natures way. As you say the Lion would eat the Zebra, in the way to survive. Not because its funny or something, thats the big different. And it is right of the people that is lucky and have a lot of wealth should share with the people that is not that lucky in this world. Thats is what we call a moral right.
ReplyDeleteI follow you right up to the point you say, "However, securing a claim based on superior force has little ablility to ensure this because philosophy ensures that a claim or idea is protected." I've read this a few times and don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI think your claim that if you believe in equal rights, you believe in equal distribution of wealth is an interesting one. Are you saying that a belief in equal RIGHTS is also a belief in the right to take what other people earn? That doesn't scan, does it?
