How to beat the evils of Statism

Some people believe socialism is a "beautiful thought", but a very difficult one to implement. The same applies for all the little bits of socialism we discuss everyday: Socialized medicine, socialized schools, socialized roads. Of course this is nonsense. Socialism is not a beautiful thought in any way, and the right way to beat it is to show why that is.

Here is a useful quote:

So long as people believe that socialized medicine is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. You cannot stop a noble plan -- not if it really is noble. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it -- to show that it is the very opposite of noble. Then at least you have a fighting chance. (#)
This is an important lesson. Never allow a Leftist to catch you agree with his notion of a "beautiful thought" or "noble idea". Socialism is pure evil, designed to mold humans into little packages of equal monetary income and destroy individual liberty. Humans are not equal, but different in every single aspect (talent, intelligence, will, preferences, etc). A system designed to equalize individuals is therefore un-human, and a horrible, evil idea.

To demonstrate that is the way to beat the evils of socialism.

Update: This entry has been picked up by an Icelandic Leftist. So far, not good, but hopefully that will change (with the next entry).
