It's not a fucking free market, damnit socialists are very illiterate, almost every socialist I argued with cant comprehend the difference between a free market and a government regulated economy.
When you have 10,000 pages of regulation its not a free market, got it?
Haha, have fun!
Most people, such as the Socialists in this thread, view the political spectrum as something like this first image.
When the world around you is viewed through that lense, you often hold conflicting ideas and your moral compass is inconsistent. This is why on one hand, people can agree that theft is morally wrong between two individuals. Yet they also believe that if a group of people get together and vote to steal from others, it is morally good. This is a huge double standard that can't be reconciled when you view reality through this spectrum.
They are stuck in a false paradigm.
In reality, it's actually freedom vs slavery. Freedom being that each individual has the right to his own body, the fruits of his labor, and property. Nobody has the right to initiate violence or use aggression against him. Unfortunately all forms of government must inherently violate these principles of freedom.
I understand the need for helping people, but if I ask you to donate to charity and you refuse, it is none of my business to question your reasons. Now if there were 5 of us in a group and 3 of us voted to force you to donate, would that be morally ok? This is the whole basis for Democracy / Socialism. It is nothing more than a tyranny of the majority.

The ideas of Socialism (health care, schools, etc.) are attractive because they're like a form of insurance. Everybody pays into a pot and then they can go to the doctor whenever they have issues. Some people who are very healthy will use the doctor very little, while others may be unlucky and need to see a doctor often. I actually think insurance is a great idea, and so do most people.
Socialists want to make this insurance mandatory for everybody under jurisdiction of a certain government. When something is mandatory and I happen to live in that area, it means that I cannot opt out of the system, in other words I am FORCED to partake. All I want is to be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE! Socialists don't believe I have that right.
In a free market, we have insurance we just don't FORCE you to pay for it. It's optional. You may or may not think it's necessary and that is 100% your own free choice. Private insurance could handle ALL of the things that government currently does and do a much better job because they'd be competing for your business.
There is a saying: "Government. Ideas so good, we have to force you to pay for them!"
