Since Tator responded first, there isn't much for me to add. Your basic point is the most important one, that socialists of whatever label and stripe see no distinction between government and society.

The reason is that they do not recognize any sector that has a right to be private, if a majority of the legislature decide to stick their fingers in and start running things. Likewise, with that mindset, "limited government" under a written Constitution has no meaning to the socialists.

Today's socialists, liberals, progressives, left-Democrats, whatever, parted company from us in 1776. They neither know nor understand the genius of the success of America since then. They also neither know nor understand the nature of free market economics, which began the same year with the publication of Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith.
