Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.
And that is totally wrong.
There is an exact formal definition of socialism.
Any time people decide to jointly pool funds for a common resource, that is socialism.
The most common example are public schools.
Socialism does not seek equality at all, through uniformity or any other means.
There are no defeats or incongruities with socialism.
Socialism does not require or desire big government.
Since it is done by the people in the community, it has to be local. small, and democratic.
Socialism has never failed, and constantly is more common and growing, as countries get bigger and resources more scarce.
That is because socialism is vastly more efficient.
You do not have third parties skimming off layers of profit.
Socialism does NOT AT ALL inhibit private property in any way, at all.
Socialism just recognized the obvious fact that shared property can sometimes be the most efficient and cost effective.
For example, all other oil producing countries, except the US, has a socialized petroleum company, in order to provide cheaper gasoline.
What could possibly be bad about that, and why is the US about the only oil producing country that does not do that?
