This made me go look up the Kohlberg stages and made me think that yes Heinz was correct to steal the drug from that price-gouging chemist and I hope he really fucked up his chemist's shop ransacking the place to find it and the chemist has a fucking heart attack right after writing down the formula

Wait what

One of the best-known of Kohlberg’s (1958) stories concerns a man called Heinz who lived somewhere in Europe.

Heinz’s wife was dying from a particular type of cancer. Doctors said a new drug might save her. The drug had been discovered by a local chemist, and the Heinz tried desperately to buy some, but the chemist was charging ten times the money it cost to make the drug, and this was much more than the Heinz could afford.

Heinz could only raise half the money, even after help from family and friends. He explained to the chemist that his wife was dying and asked if he could have the drug cheaper or pay the rest of the money later.

The chemist refused, saying that he had discovered the drug and was going to make money from it. The husband was desperate to save his wife, so later that night he broke into the chemist’s and stole the drug.

Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?

Bourgeois chemist scum

obviously theft is permitted if it is for the preservation of life that's a no brainer

But what about the chemist's right to a profit? Why do you hate free enterprise and small businesses? porky-scared-flipped grill-broke frothingfash

to answer that seriously the chemist forfitted that right when upon being approached on a human level with the story of the mans need he didn't honour his duty to care for his fellow man. And by breaking the social code so severely he gave up it's protection

You'd be shocked how many apparent zombies there are running around with no brain.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
