I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to "force" him to share...

Cut the cake into portions equal to the number of attendees. Maybe a couple more if you want to save a few slices. Everyone gets to enjoy cake at the party

Grab a fork, and eat it alone. At a party. All the attendees just watch as you gorge yourself on far more cake than one person should consume. Take the rest home and freeze it so you can continue to be the only one to enjoy it

Capitalists see nothing wrong with option 2.
- I prefer option 3: Everyone brings some cake to the party, and everyone gets to enjoy the variety of flavors, because we all pooled resources.
  
  Cake potluck for a birthday is a dope idea!
  
  Or option 4: everyone brings some ingredients, or skills, and we all bake varying cakes which are then enjoyed by all, because it's a cooperating group that doesn't give one asshole all the cake that's baked.
  
  This should be a thing
- Don't forget to stab people with your fork, if they get too close to your cake.
  
  Pfftt, amateur hour. You're not a real capitalist success story until you've hoarded enough wealth to afford hiring a poor person to do your fork-stabbing for you.
- CUT MY CAKE INTO PORTIONS
  EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF PEEPS
  MANY SLICES
  SO YUMMY
  THIS IS THE BEST PARTY
  
  Capitalist version:
  
  CUT MY CAKE IN NO PIECES
  
  THIS IS MY SOLO TORTE
  
  IT'S JUST FOR MY
  
  OWN EATING
  
  DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT MEANS THAT I'M GREEDY
  
  CUT MY CAKE INTO PIECES! THIS IS MY PLASTIC FORK!
- The cake is a lie!
- Of course each attendee in scenario 2 will give you two cookies for participating.
- But I don't like cake. Please don't make me eat it all.
  
  That’s the beauty of capitalism, it’s your cake. Do whatever you want with it.
- Where I live we just cut portions as we go
- Trots: EVERYONE GETS A KNIFE
- Option 2 is 100% somebody's fetish.
  
  I had this intrusive thought and now you have to too!
- Hey there, pal! Gotta say, I respectfully disagree with your take on taking a slice of cake under capitalism for yourself and not sharing it with other people. Now, I'm not here to rain on your parade or anything, but let's dive into this and have a little chat about it.
  
  Now, you mentioned capitalism, and boy, oh boy, that's a whole can of worms right there! Under capitalism, my friend, you gotta work to eat that slice of cake. It's not just handed out willy-nilly. I mean, think about it – in a capitalist society, resources are distributed based on productivity and the market's demand. You work, you earn money, and then you can reward yourself with that scrumptious slice of cake.
  
  Sure, it might seem unfair to some, but it's the system we've got for now. So, instead of complaining about not getting your cake without doing anything, why not channel that energy into working hard, improving your skills, and securing your own slice? It might not be the easiest path, but it's the one that capitalism lays out for us.
  
  Now, I'm not here to push any specific ideology on you, but it's essential to understand the underlying principles governing our society. And as someone who majored in Economics, well let me just aay i feel I am certified in this field. So, my friend, let's strap on our work boots, embrace the capitalist game, and earn that slice of cake together!
  
  I choose to believe that you're being facetious.
  
  Exquisite
  
  This is a beautiful shitpost
No matter how old this post is, overall, it’s such a simple, but utter evisceration of the initial person’s ignorant statement
Accidental self-own
"let them eat (my) cake"
- 👉👈
  
  👅🍑
OP accidentally outs themselves as a loner
- I'm a loner, but that doesn't mean I'm eating the whole damn birthday cake!
An oldie but a goldie
Just wondering why the names of the original authors have been censored?
