The name doesn't define the government. Socialist is a vague term. I'm
a libertarian socialist and we don't like any kind of government.
But without a government, who are you socialists gonna get to steal
money from those hated and despised people who earned it and give it to
those who didn't?
With the exception of celebrities, most income in excess of half a
million is UNEARNED. It is excessive "producer surplus" or it is
economic rent. These funds are essentially stolen from the common people
and pocketed by the rich. All wealth is earned or naturally occurring.
But all too often the collectors of the wealth are not the producers of
the wealth. And the redistribution of this stolen prosperity is the
primary job of governments.
