Socialism sounds good because it is posited as a system where people share more.
But what socialism actually is, is Peter forcing Paul at the barrel of a gun to share according to how Peter thinks he should.
You cannot have “forced sharing,” it’s a direct contradiction. The only reason sharing is good is because it’s a choice.
The worst parts of us always seem to hide behind niceties.
