At one point years ago I used to think "we have the technology and ability to make heaven on earth, no one needs to go hungry, if we withold from the poor because of our own moral judgement it is needless and evil"

Years later I changed my mind. We should make it hard on people so that they rise up and work hard, that is the morally right thing to do, although it sounds bad and no one wants to say it. It sounds Ebenezer Scrooge-ish. It's kind of like what nazis would say or it is similar to eugenics and those things got a lot of bad press to say the least so if anyone says it out loud they will be unpersoned.

You are right, I'm with you on this.

There is only one perfect society, the utopia is communism MINUS human nature.

Until we eliminate our humanity within us, capitalism the best government ever tried. If there was a better way, I'd be the first in line.

society will never be perfect but that can't mean we don't try to improve it
