Oh, you're one of those? "All government services are socialism." K. So I have the choice between two retarded extremes 1) admit socialism is a good idea 2) or prove that there is no need for government. Either unfettered capitalistic anarchy or socialism? It's a fallacious bullshit argument.

Sp, there's no legitimate government functions where no free market solutions can exist without infringing on the rights of the individual (security, fire, police)? For example, homeowner A has a right to not have their house burned down if homeowner B refuses to pay the private fire department to put out a fire, thus, private fire can't exist without infringing on peoples rights. Hence, necessary government function--not socialism.

There's no room for a category of extraneous government overlap with the private sector? It doesn't nationalize an industry, but government creates an arguably unnecessary parallel service thereby performing functions where it shouldn't (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, schools, public transport, infrastructure, postal service, prison system).

These aren't socialism, but rather government overreach, but not to you. You intend to be as obtuse as possible and say that all government services are socialism forcing me to argue some ridiculous...you know what. I'm tired of typing. You don't care. I don't care. Socialism is great. It totally doesn't conflict with individual rights, k? I'm out.

>describes a representative government
>calls it democracy

Do you know what a republic is?

PS You cannot have socialism without infringing on the economic freedom of the individual. IT IS ANTITHETICAL TO THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND THE CONSTITUTION.

I can write in bold too.
