I'm saying that CO2 is not energy. I think my words there are very clear. CO2 is matter, not energy, and anyone saying that CO2 is energy is totally wrong, so clueless that they shouldn't be bothering the grownups.

I liked your reply, but not your sig line.

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.

That is totally wrong.
Socialism seeks equality of opportunity, not outcome, and there have never been any unsuccessful examples of socialism, because it is simply more efficient and satisfying for everyone.
The "extreme locus of control" you mentioned was the centralized state capitalism of Stalinism, and has nothing at all to do with socialism, which by its nature, has to be decentralized.
Marx was part of the wealthy elite who simply felt guilty in the early 1800's, which is well before people started trying to figure out practical means of avoiding economic feudalism, once cottage industries had been wiped out by the industrial revolution and the mass production of factories.
