I am not entirely comfortable myself with the "humanitarian" angle
which seems the invariable Leitmotif of US liberals - who, btw, used
to be ferocious Social Darwinists just a century or two ago.

But socialism has other conceivable rationales.

For instance, libertarians accept that shareholders in private
corporations touch dividends, possibly very high dividends, even when
they do absolutely nothing and certainly cannot be counted as A-type
individuals in Ayn Rand's sense. Now in the example of the
conglomerate becoming a political community and a State for all
practical purposes, why shouldn't they continue to do so? And if this
is the case, why existing States should not pay citizenship dividends,
in cash or in nature, to their members?
