Socialism is the ownership of the means of production by the workers or the state.
Helping a family in need is compassion. Which is a function of religion. Which Rdean despises.
Compassion and socialism are not synonymous. The experience of the 20th century would suggest that they are antonyms.
Are all Rdean's rhetorical questions dishonest and stupid. Experience proves that they are 94% of the time.
And what of the 20th Century experiance with Fascism? State corporetism. Perhaps letting the very wealthy control everything, as in Czarist Russia, does not lead to ideal results, either.
Perhaps using socialism or capitalism where they have been proven to work would be a good idea. Of course, that is an anthema to either the left or the right.
