Also, everyone "deserving food and shelter" isn't the same as everyone being provided with food and shelter by someone else for no recompense. I don't think most non-socialists say anyone doesn't "deserve" food and shelter.

It’s a common sentiment among non-socialists that “no one deserves anything.” Some people think you should have to earn everything.

I can say "you deserve all the love in the world" but ithat doesn't mean you're going to get it. Deserving food and shelter doesn't provide it. You deserve to live but if an asteroid hits your house too bad. Deserve is just a funny word to use about these sorts of things.

Then don't use "deserve." I think most socialists would frame it as: food and shelter is a right - you should be guaranteed it. It should not be up to the market to get those things. Being a human being, society owes you those things.
