People will not do it, only governments will.
Which SHOULD BE A GOOD THING, assuming the government is not corrupt, ignorant, greedy, and delusional.
A populace consisting of compassionate, but indolent and ignorant voters, will vote their miserable emotions, and swamp the entire boat and everyone dies.
An honest elected representative government consisting of the best society can offer, educated, informed and able to make the hard choices necessary for a healthy society is the best that 40000 years of human civilization has come up with.
In such a society, if you are a healthy adult, can offer physical labor, if nothing else, but you refuse to work, you don't eat, you die.
And you don't get to vote on anything!
