   I'm all for people doing what they want in volunteer society. If a bunch   
   of people want a socialist paradise they are free to create it, they   
   just can't force others to participate. Yet, that's not what happens in   
   the real world.   
      
   Feel free to show me a socialist system that doesn't use violence to   
   keep its members "sharing" the wealth.
