Doesn't work. Tribes function according to a set of laws enacted by each tribe according to the culture and the elders decide. Today we use democracies and representatives decide. Each person cannot decide because without the say of the collective group and the laws they decide on we end up with The Lord of the flies. If the hunter will not share the eldres will make him share. That is his cost for the tribes protection. And without a tribe he dies alone. Same system today. How we defeated Hitler. We had a strong tribe and it protect the individual and that hunter. <<That is the philosophy of the hunter who makes a kill in a hard winter and does not want to share it with the tribe Nonsense. I'm supporting charity, supporting such sharing. I'm arguing against taking, which is a very different thing from sharing. Compassion and voluntary sharing are good things which I totally support, theft by force not so much either on practical or moral grounds.
