You implied that prohibition is a socialist idea.

That is a historical fact of the prohibitionist movement in the USA. It was fueled by the anti-constitutional idea that the all powerful State can dictate individual behaviors, without using due process of law.

I answer that, in fact, prohibition would help restore family values and thus help repel the waves of socialaism that are sweeping over western society.

We see all about us the folly of that prohibitionist/socialist view. Booze prohibition was beyond any doubt the cause of massive lawlessness in America. The 'war on drugs' has compounded the scofflaw mentality.
You want MORE prohibitions to 'save the children?'

Unbelievably naive position.
