Simple answer: Because socialism denies individual rights. I have the right to mine metal and make a widget, I have the right to sell apples, and the "human rights" of others, who may be starving do not supersede my rights, no matter how badly they hurt.
dont you know, freedom means everything is free

dont you know, freedom means everything is free No, it doesn't. Freedom means being able to have a free and clear title/ownership of something, without some do-gooder socialist trying to steal it.

Anger is a sign that you're taking an issue personally, that you are emotionally invested, and may not be thinking entirely logically. Perhaps you should step back and think about things for a few minutes.

I do often show some degree of hostility to those that I consider to be espousing positions that may be a threat to my freedom, and that is my demon to wrestle with. I do try not to make ad-hominem attacks, or use foul language, but I also believe very strongly in freedom, as an AnCap guy.

I look forward to discussing things with you. Even though we may not agree on many things, a discussion of nuance and real-world application is often eye-opening.

To discuss creating a robo socialist town. It's completely on topic, if you don't want to discuss then ignore it.

In reality people in the USA support socialism. They just do not know that that is the word for what they like (and continue to vote for).

USA fear socialism because this term was used by USSR to oppose global domination of USD debt economy, Lets pick developed capitalistic countries like USA, Japan, they highly dependent on resources from Russia, Latins, Mid East, Africa, because the living standards based on exchange of highly marginal goods And USD debts to low paid resources and low paid works.

Oh I'm sorry, forgive us. We only just had the only country in the world that experienced 200 years of exponential prosperity and growth. Forgive us if we choose to oppose an already proven; failed economic system.

no matter what people think, the fact is - global debt domination of fed debt system going to collapse. And there is no soviet treat anymore to save middle class from robbing by banksters (i think S&P500 crash is highly possible in near future).
