C'mon man, you can't compare humans to chimps we're different species. Chimp's brains haven't evolved to the point human's brains have. I can think chimps all deserve equal amounts of bananas all I want but I have no way of communicating that to the chimps nor do they have the capacity to understand the concept of morality/equality etc. Their brains are hardwired to feed and breed they don't sit around pondering the pros and cons of different economic doctrines and how to maximize the living standards of all chimps. Chimps will be found in areas abundant in trees and fruit, they aren't running around all over the place so the idea of one being stranded alone on an island is silly. They will spend their whole lives in the habitat they thrive in unless human intervention destroys their habitat or forcibly removes them to zoos etc. While a human can be born just about anywhere on earth which is totally out of his control, he can be born into poverty or deprivation. Chimps would only really be hindered by their genetics since there always born in a suitable habitat, a humans chance of getting a decent standard of living will matter on genetics, geographic location, economics etc.


I prefer to call the property of "deserving" - rights. The right to life, the right to have food in your stomach etc. Obviously there are no actual "rights" all rights have been man made because we are capable of thinking and can recognize the moral need for them. We have developed societal structures like courts etc as well which apes haven't. The comparison is pretty ludicrous to be honest.

The idea that there would be no food if there was no marketplace is wrong too. We would just have to hunt our own food instead of buying it prepackaged at the local store etc. People used to hunt animals with spears to feed themselves or eat fruit off trees/bushes. We could as a species go back to living like cavemen and chimps where none of this morality crap matters but we won't because we have developed a better fairer albeit imperfect system.

Why should a person in India starve to death because he was born into poverty in India? The world has x amount of resources. Nobody has any intrinsic right to said resources. Said resources should be divvied up fairly.
