I don't force anything on anyone. I just wrote that it can be made to work.

And your "simple" definition of "socialism" sure as hell ain't mine.

Socialism requires forcing it others. No one living under socialism is allowed to own their own business. Under Capitalism you are free to do what you want. Advocating for Socialism IS ADVOCATING FOR FORCING IT ON EVERYONE.

Otherwise everything you want to do under socialism you can voluntarily do right now. You can start a fund to pay for other people's education, healthcare, whatever. Socialism says you don't get a fucking choice, you have to pay for everyone else's everything.

Socialism IS tyranny. '

That is an implementation you are describing. Not more. Because we haven't seen more so far.

I believe "societies" have to get way smaller to survive any ways, so there is that for one.

And concerning this argument of yours "you are forced" : So you don't pay taxes ? Did you built the streets you are driving on yourself ?

Do you build the car you are driving yourself ? Your computer ? Any software ?

Shall i call IRS ?

If your way only works for small societies then let's stop saying we should implement it in our large society. Maybe after the purge, when 80% of the population is dead we can revisit it. Sound good?

Yeah... Secretly my friends and me are doing this right now but don't tell anyone, ok ?
