Hi Ben, I missed you on this thread!
I am aware of all that you posted. And, could use it to source my previous posts. It seems like we have the same picture of Socialism, just we are stressing different parts. It would be two tedious to haggle over each line of the article above. So, let’s try something else. I see you ended with line about environmentalism etc. That gives me an idea.
Suppose an environmentalist comes to our town. He asks us to conserve and protect our natural resources. We are fine with that. But that would leave a lot of access to our natural resources at the mercy of the public. Naturally, the question arises as to who would supervise that the protected resources are maintained and not stolen for individual profit. He answers, “I am a socialist”. I take that to mean that, he believes that it is up to the people to defend what they have left unowned for the public, just like they protect their personal property. You take it as, he does not believe in the right of the individual to what has been put there by nature. Even at the expense of the resource itself. (It will be left unprotected.)
