Have you heard about that thing called "will and testament"?

We're talking about how we'd like the law to be, and since a corpse is a corpse and can't use a bank account or buy property then logic dictates that they can't own anything, because duh. **** your will and testament. You want to dictate how you're buried? Fine. You want to be able to dictate what happens to $10k or $50k or whatever limits are reasonable, then go ahead cause who cares, but if you're Bill Gates then that's a lot of assets to pass onto someone who did nothing to earn them and who has no claim to them other than their daddy's warm and fuzzies.

I don't want (more) laws that legalise theft and ones that allow for state property appropriation.

Spread that wealth around if you please, see the prices of everything raise slightly and for it to mean essentially nothing. I'm sure big corporations will be happy when everyone rushes to buy that new expensive item they couldn't afford before.

Why do people still think that controlling the economy by force will help anybody but those who are already rich?

Make Batlord in charge of knowing who needs what and what they are allowed to have. I'm sure he would make the right calls and it wouldn't collapse like every other socialist hellhole.

Obviously I was talking in a broader context. Inheritance being one element.

Good thing we're only talking about inheritances, then. Otherwise, you'd be overreacting with all this Batlord's socialist burger kingdom nonsense.

I imagine my first act of not letting rich kids keep their parents' wealth for no reason probably wouldn't break the country, but I've gone on record multiple times to say that people are too stupid to know how to govern themselves under any form of government. You're the one who seems to have faith in social Darwinism.

Nope, not at all. I don't have faith in a stateless society magically working. I do have faith that without government people would still strive to help those in need anyway, but there's no guarantee of that being flawless either.

The bigger question is whether or not the government should be able to take your property and give it to others. I'd say no, because ~theft~, but I didn't say it would solve all of our issues.
