To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity.

Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. Ben Shapiro

Me, Service, You, Capitalism, Moral

When we talk about the word 'socialism,' I think what it really means is just democratic participation in our economic dignity and our economic, social, and racial dignity.

Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. Discussions of income inequality, after all, aren't about prosperity but about petty spite. Why should you care how much money I make, so long as you are happy? Ben Shapiro

God, Money, Happy, Government, You, Care
