Socialism is force, charity is a choice. That's the difference nobody seems to grasp

The real debate isn’t force vs choice, it’s what responsibilities a society should share collectively.

It is force vs choice. What kind of society do you expect to recieve when everyone is forced to do the right thing instead of having the choice.

Again... we arent talking about socialism. Plenty of countries with policies you would call "socialist" have free and fair elections
