Anyways...
"And by the way, the point at which your system falls apart is called "Communism" "
What you've described is a misrepresentation of communism.It does not require a
dictatorship. People in a communist system
have to work just as people in a socialist or a capitalist system have to work. There
is no *working* economic model whereby
a significant number of people can decide to contribute nothing to the whole and get
support.Regulation and laws are meant to
prohibit such from happening in our current society. Honestly..I can't see the point
of the question and the hypothetical
situation described at all, or its bearing on Libertarianism.
It has to do with Incentives again, a concept which some seem to have difficulty
understanding.What gets REWARDED is what
happens, (except in the case of the mentally unstable, including extremists *chuckles
quietly*).
The Social services such as welfare are there as a safety net to help people get back
on their feet.Problems exist only when
people see the safety net as preferable to getting out of it. Extremists will argue
that it is sheer laziness and wotlessness
that causes people to stay on welfare, when in fact it is the system itself which
needs adjusting, since people's benefits
begin disappearing faster than their paycheck can provide these services, resulting in
a DROP in their standard of living
when they attempt to get off welfare.
I hope this answered your question,such as it was.

When you do, perhaps you'll directly answer the question I posed in my
previous post. It's a critical one.
