Wouldn't you have to force him to share if you were the captain (the government in terms of the analogy) responsible for the lives of everyone?
Thank you Klausen or what ever your real name is for making a very important point. Socialism is built on force and ultimately requires the citizens that are producers to acquiesce at the point of a gun. I could not have made the point better. Now back to the lifeboat. If there was excess fish caught by the glutton and by no one else then hold the gun to the glutton and see how much fish he catches during the next few days. Soon all will starve. Or better yet learn from the glutton so that all including you may catch more and give the fish away to the sick and elderly. On second hand it is easier to steal than create hand me my gun.
