You got to stop making up your own definitions. Socialism is where the government (or collective) controls all means of production. Nothing is privatized. Private property does not exist. Everything is shared. Everything.
You're using an informal fallacy again.... I have nothing against private property since i'm a social liberal (note: social does not equal socialist). I support a free market just like you. The difference is that i have realized that a safety net is required for a society if it wants to offer true liberty and freedom.
"Everyone for themselves" mentality only offers liberty to the fittest. Oh wait.. what's that called again?... oh right! Social darwinism.
Oh and..
I have never pretended that taxing is not theft.
I don't support a progressive tax system. Flat tax is the most fair system.
You are always a slave to something. In a pure capitalistic world we are all slaves to money and those who control it. In a pure socialist world we are all slaves to the collective. But there is something in between. Something much better.
So, again.. the problem is that you can only see the world in black and white. Good and evil are entirely subjective.
