 Socialism
I have come to realise that Socialism is nothing but ethical imperialism. Socialists seek to impose their notion of fairness on everyone else, whether they like it or not.
I dedicate my life to opposing socialism, in all it's forms, wherever it rears it's ugly head. 
Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.

A futile battle. Socialism exists unacknowledged, and unknowingly as the norm. You will participate in some sort of a socialist activity at some point in time.

Mendhaks right...The true essence of socialism is that everyone is equal. Everyone gets a piece of the pie regardless of how hard they work at making it. Everyone is the same, no better or worse, richer or poor. There is no individuality in socialism, everyones the same. Our own (the US) government preaches equality for all men and women, but at the same time preaches that the most qualified or skilled person will win. If we were all equal then there wouldn't be a better qualified or skilled person.
BTW, The Gap is a form of socialism in my opinion...I hate that ****ing store!
Being educated does not make you intelligent.

Sounds like Christianity to me.

I guess we'll be going head to head then, because I'll never stop my crusade to help stop homosexual segregation.

No, that's moral imperialism.

Homosexual segregation? I don't know what you mean by this. I am certainly not opposed to gay people having equal rights as everyone else.

Socialism IS communism. Same thing in a sligthly different wrapper.
No, it's not.
In comunism, there is no such thing as privately owned wealth of private property.
In Socialism, we are allowed to own wealth and property but it is liable to redistriuition according to the dictates of "fairness".
Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.

Well the government is socialist about rights, IE: women should have the same rights as men. But as far as wealth goes, we are the biggest capitalist you ever did see.

It's a mixture of everything. Whatever conveniently floats your boat.
So right now, you'll have a mixture of socialism, democracy, capitalism, imperialism and dictatorship.
How the **** would you differentiate now?
