The Irreducible Minimum
Quote
Irreducible minimum, which is the guaranteed provision of the means necessary to sustain life, the level of living that no one should ever fall below, regardless of the size of their individual contribution to the community. Murray Bookchin
All members of the same community are entitled to the means of life irrespective of the amount of work they perform. to deny and food, shelter, and the basic means of life because of t heir infirmities or even their frivolous behaviour would have been seen as a heinous denial of the very right to live. Nor were the basic resources needed to sustain the community ever permitted to be privately owned.
