That is a wonderful analogy.
Good analogy...
Another way of saying it is that liberals view food/housing/wealth/property/money as a ZERO SUM GAME.
There is only a fixed amount of it (in your metaphor: the river) and a fixed allocation per person.
In reality, it is not a zero-sum game because technology and/or hard work yields more food/products/housing/wealth/property/money.
On top of that, the “COLLECTIVE” owns all of the assets held in their narrow “zero-sum-game” world.
