Our basic instinct in self-preservation and self betterment and we expect to be the sole masters of that which we have earned. We are charitable, but we, as individuals make the the decision as to who we give to, how much, and when, not a "committee". We, as a species value the worth of the individual far more than we do the collective. We are not bees in hive. We value the individual records in sports far more than the team records.
Liberalism always believes the false notion that humankind has evolved far more than we actually have. When in times of shortage we will be more than happy to see our fellow man starve and die in order to feed ourselves and our immediate families. We see that behavior in famine prone regions all the time.
There are other major problems with equal outcome based systems. They destroy initiative, incentive, and effort. If I get nothing more for achieving more, I will chose not to bother.
And who decides what the resource distribution is? The "intellectual elite"? "Councils of workers" are a joke because most workers lack the education, intelligence, or training to even remotely understand economic issues on a macro scale.
Socialism doesn't scale at all. It only marginally works in small, ethnically homogenous societies that are already wealthy to begin with as in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and break down in larger more diverse societies with wide ranging social differences and economic ranges (Soviet Union, and now Germany and France).
The REALITY of the human condition and the core of our nature is that at the end of the day, you are entitled to ONLY what you can TAKE and what you can KEEP. Nothing more, nothing less.
