You are the captain of a sinking cruise ship. You make it to the lifeboat and take charge, as you have the only pistol and the key to the rations chest. The lifeboat holds 10 people, but there are 20 survivors, including yourself. As it was a cruise ship, there is a mixture of young and old, men, women, and children. The nearest island is 5 days away by rowing. You have enough water for 10 days, for 10 people. Its highly unlikely that you will be rescued from the island for a long time. 10 people have to leave the boat. While they can hold onto ropes in the water, if they try to get in, you will shoot them. Also, they get no rations.
You're this guy
Who stays and who goes?

Kill any minorities.
Save only white children.
Mostly the women.
7 women, 3 men.
Make it too island, eat bodies of the dead.
build society as socialist paradise.
>Cruise ship
Clearly the survivors are bourgeoisie. I would not save any of them.
>>1337769

Ask everyone what they do for a living. If they work in a business but do not own it, allow them onboard. If they own a business and make over $50,000 a year, do not let them aboard.

I would declare:
>From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
I would choose the ten who best fit that description. Oh, and proles get priority. Porkies, get in the back of the line.
I'm not sure about Marx, but I'd hold the folks off at gunpoint and row away to the island by myself.
The boat itself could provide a roomy shelter for one, with minimal setup. The abundance of rations guarantees that I have plenty of time to figure out how to feed myself off the land until rescue.

>You're this guy
I shot myself before anyone listen to my ravel.

>gunpoint
I'd rather try to beat your ass and maybe die a quick death at worst, with a chance of survival at best, than to let you fuck me and everybody else over.
I shoot anyone who objects to cannibalism.
>>1337769
I shoot myself.
>>1337769
Idk what he would do, but if it was me, I would just start shooting people, the men first because they're stronger, then the women, and I'd leave the children to drown so that I could save some ammo.
>>1337869
That's the correct course of action for somebody without the only gun, but my plan is also the correct course for someone with the only gun. Both of them maximize the chances for, but do not guarantee, survival
Even if you're letting other people on the boat, as soon as you reject the first person, you're three seconds from a riot and without the benefit of a choke point.
