Quote:So you're saying that not everyone is responsible for funding it and that not everyone is supposed to derive a benefit from it?

 

Websters definition of Socialism not your fairytale idea of what it is:

 

"a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

 

When a system, call it government, is established to protect the rights of individuals property and life there is no "exchange" of services or "distribution of goods" being collected by all and given to all. It's simply a system that says my property is protected under law and punishable by the terms society has agreed upon. In some twisted way you think of that as soft version of socialism is nothing more than your desire to see socialism in everything.
