"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society.

As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. ... We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on.

It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting people to eat because we do not want the state to raise the grain."

-- Frédéric Bastiat, The Law, 1849

To: a fool in paradise

That is exactly how these idiots “think”. The number of these mindless vermin has reached a critical point. Now there is no longer any possibility of a free and productive society moving forward.
