Let me just pick out one thing from your litany.

You say that Arny is pro-socialist. That sounds nice and inflammatory, but . . .
What do you mean? actually he is pro-capitalist. Give us th evidence that he is pro-socialist.

If you mean he cares about some social concerns, fine, but socialist means that the government controls the means of production. there is no evidence that Arny believes that.

FYI,

[Socialism] was first applied in England to Owen's theory of social reconstruction, and in France to those also of St. Simon and Fourier . . . The word, however, is used with a great variety of meaning, . . . even by economists and learned critics. The general tendency is to regard as socialistic any interference undertaken by society on behalf of the poor, . . . radical social reform which disturbs the present system of private property . . . The tendency of the present socialism is more and more to ally itself with the most advanced democracy. --Encyc. Brit.
