The idea is that it is 'unfair' for people to own more resources than others, the 'solution' is to initiate force against them to take the resources. If you apply this principle to anything else, it becomes downright evil.
Stopped reading there. This is bollocks, and I'm not even a 'socialist'. What about socialism indicates that it is 'unfair' for people to own more resources than others? Are you talking about de facto Communism instead?
You see, in political science, there's thing called a 'spectrum', where different views of political philosophy can be combined and synthesised to forming new thoughts and new ways of doing things.
You've heard 'mixed economy' yes? That evil phrase that actually seeks, at its heart, to utilise the beneficial formats of all wings to compensate for the negative? You like business (apparently), so equate it to having a mixed investment portfolio. You have investments in various pools to ensure gains offset losses, preferably so that one gains more than one looses. In a very simple way, this is exactly that a mixed economy attempts to conform to. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it an example of "THE GUVMENT TRIN' TO STEAL YO RESOURCEZ!!!"!!"111! - Nope. It's part of the evolutionary process of political paradigms.
In short, stop posting shit.
