It isn’t socialism that causes violence in the countries you’re likely referring to. It’s dictatorships. And eugenics would kill a lot of people if it were allowed to prevail.

And when people refuse to 'socialize' their businesses? Gee we just need more power to force them!

That's true. But I do believe public lands is a good thing. Proudhon's idea of mixing decentralized community socialist policies while keeping capitalism (the good kind) is a better system.

Not even tyrants or dictatorships. FOr dictators don't have to kill anyone to be a dictator. Its despotism.

You can only create dictatorships with socialism.
