Socialism = tyranny? Wow. I guess you prefer the freedom of being bankrupted if you get injured, and getting taken by masked men from an unmarked van if you got some tan on your vacation, and then dropped to El Salvador.

Would you elaborate on your definitions for “being ruled” and “socialist”?

Does that mean you would prefer violent rebellion over a United States president with social liberal public policies?

Would you have taken up arms under either of the Roosevelts?

Extremism and violence tend to go hand-in-hand.

Did I say "social democrat" or did I say "socialist"?
