Good show, SAJ. You have stated quite succinctly, and with the proper amount of Old West aphorism, what socialism is -
"The very concept of socialism is anti-self-deterministic by definition; when a socialist gov't utters its decrees and ukases, both the individual and any non-dominating population group have one of two choices, namely:
1) Knuckle under
2) Get the hell out of Dodge."
I plan to use it with some of my friends in the West whose understanding of socialism is sorely lacking.
FReegards!
