Inequality is a good thing. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is equal.

Some inequality is ok. Ridiculous inequality is not okay because it harms economies and cultures and impoverishes millions.

Socialists want me to know they are my moral superiors because they insist it is the only moral system. I bet they feel great about their moral inequality.

Everyone thinks their system is best, this is not something unique to socialists

But only certain special "everyones" insist they are morally entitled to force me to participate in their system. Socialism is authoritarian at every level.

I agree, but socialism is far from the only type of political system that leads to authoritarianism.

Socialism doesn't "lead to" authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is embedded in Socialism's implementation, and explicitly its end goal.
If you're implying "but Capitalism blah blah Imperialism blah blah" then fuck you. Free enterprise is entirely voluntary from top to bottom in the context of a Libertarian society. No force is required to cause any individual to do what serves their own best interest, assuming they own their own bodies and the liberty I believe all humans deserve.
Don't ever assume that America is a Capitalist country. The actions of our government are hostile to Capitalism, Free Enterprise, and Individual Liberty. I'm eternally frustrated by the lack of discussion on how to fix that without killing millions of people.

Authoritarianism is the result of many political systems... I can point to many historical examples of authoritarian governments that aren't socialist. That's all I'm saying.

If you watch the video, then I'll be satisfied with our exchange here. Hopefully you'll understand where I'm coming from.

Capitalism cannot exist without socialism.
Taxes that pay the government and police and military that enforce the capitalism are entirely socialist. They claim to "protect" you but won't protect your health or education or rights to shelter, food, and work while civilized countries would.
Socialism cannot exist without capitalism on some level, whether it's the individual level, business level, community level, or state level.
More balanced countries are more stable and happier, but they are far from fair and "equal".
All governments are authoritarian to some degrees and feature socialist and capitalist elements to some degrees.

I don't entirely disagree. To the extent that they are "Socialist", we ought to do what we can peacefully diminish their power in society.
Everything else you wrote is bullshit commie propaganda, so I'm not investing any time to rebut it.

Depends what you mean "Socialist".
Capitalism needs some balance. Democrats are not that, nor are their brainwashed SJWs. Serving the coporatocracy/technocracy (NeoCons/Globalists/Zionists/Freemasons/NWO), they are merely pawns sheep herding the left-leaning masses into their delusional Hegelian dialectic.
Those "socialists" can go to hell for all I care.
Because you can't.
