   "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is a   
   seductive slogan. But it's merely a slogan. It does not conform to human   
   behavior. Many people rationalize a Common Good which does not exist. An urban   
   interest is not a common one.   
    Urban people tell themselves they seek equality. Workers may 'strike' for   
   higher wages in the name of 'equality'. But they never strike to lower wages   
   for equality. They decry someone else's higher profits but never their own   
   higher wages. Yet both    
   profits and wages make stuff more expensive for customers.
