That's an excellent condensed explanation, Mike. (Kudos!) You'll never get
socialists to grok this because their idealism conceptualizes humanity as
something to tailor to the needs of socialism, rather than the other way
around. They don't want a system that serves the needs of people; they want
people to serve the needs of their ideal socialist system.
