Earlier today I asked my Twitter followers (follow me here so you don’t miss the next one) to define socialism in 140 words or less. Here are the results:
- Socialism is like this really cool idea where everyone pitches in, because, we’ll like, get rid of you if you don’t get it, man.
- Supplanting self-determination with with will of the collective and defining it as the ultimate and only true morality.
- I’m defining it but I only got **** written so far.
- socialism is the denial of the individual in favor of the group mentality.
- Legalized Plunder
- Individual rights being taken from folks to benefit the gov’s chosen greater good. Usually begins with people’s consent and ends with mass-graves.
All great answers. Here is mine:
A government sponsored genocide of the one minority not protected by liberalism: the individual.
You have one better? Leave it in the comments.
