I think you're the one whose confused and can't see beyond your own cynicism.
But hey, you're entitled to your opinions.
I oppose proposals, in every area of public life, which are premised upon nonsensical ideas that people are interchangeable; or that the same system works for all peoples; or that all peoples have equal abilities; or equivalent personalities; or that people who succeed have somehow wronged people who fail; or that some form of World Government is desirable. In short, I oppose Socialism in all of its manifestations. And I have never, ever, considered Socialism or Egalitarianism idealistic.
