Like I said, I'm doing everything in my power to prevent that. I work hard, I invest, I save money,....

If the apple tree is the property of human being A than all the apples belong to him and he can use them as he sees fit. He can eat them, seel them or give them away. It's his decision.
If the apple tree doesn't belong to anyone, the apples belong to the human being that plucks the apples. He can decide what to do with them.

What part of that simple mathematics is soooo hard for you guys to understand? Resources = limited.

10 people = 10 individuals, with different ideas, different needs, different tastes,... Some of those people might even dislike apples or be allergic to them....
In a free world, the limited resources are divided (through the mechanism we call the market) so that every one has the best chance of getting the things he wants most.
In your world, the population gets reduced to match the limited supply of resources.
