Miranda was arrested for robbery and admitted to rape so he might have a bit of that "what's yours is mine philosophy". Why even CSS has addmitted he has that belief when you have something he wants.
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

But as to your point, Courts, Cops and Military are all funded by taxes to promote social welfare to provide services ideally without basis on how much you pay into them. What about that isn't socialist?

The irony is that James Lovelock, who you berated thus: Look at this piece of filth. He is pure trash, SCUUUUGHGHM! He hates life so much, he just wants to destroy it in the most brutal ways. He absolutely hates freedom, he would like to see an absolute dictatorship where thugs in black ski-masks run around punching the belly of every pregnant woman they see. He would like it if governments nuked the ice caps so that they would melt to punish us for not believing his filthy lies. also holds those views. BTW: The Guardian headline James Lovelock: Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change is incorrect. I have read the transcript of the interview and nowhere does he make that remark. "Not yet clever enough", yes, but that carries an entirely different meaning.

Ok, I was busier than the blazes of hell yesterday, but I'm taking a second out of my morning to ask a question. If the cops coming to protect me from a violent assault isn't socialistic, why is getting treated by a doctor? Production, goods and services under governmental control or even regulation are socialism, it's not magically capitalism just because it doesn't feature tangible stuff. The USPS is socialism on a national level, same as the FBI, CIA, NSA and all branches of the military. All of them are intended to provide certain services to the American public, if they do or not is an entirely different matter. While I find stories of Pinkerton's amusing, we have replaced many private agencies with government controlled equivalents over the years. And that is still socialism, even if it's a service.

Again distand, police, courts and military are not examples of socialism at work. They are standard government functions of ALL governments. America have been very socialist over the past 100 years, that is why this country is destroyed.

They aren't actually functions of all governments, or at least not what we consider to be those things. See, ours are supposed to apply to everyone, equally. Which itself is rather socialist compared to other systems when ours was created. Generally in the past if you didn't hold value to the rulers, they simply left you to rot with no place in the system, no help from the system, and typically absolutely nothing more than what you could scrape from the earth, and they then took some of that from you using the very forces we're talking about. Edit: For note, see Somalia, libertarian paradise. And if we're so damn destroyed, why is it that we've hit the worst economic issues by dropping or not applying regulations? And if we're so destroyed why is it that some of the highest taxes in our history are associated with the time that so many idiots idealize?

What about a government that does any of the range services that most people expect of government isn't socialistic?

Your problem is that you don't know the definition of socialism and you take everything out of context. You are a lost cause.

What!? Generating wind is not a step when it comes to using wind power, or is it?

It takes a lot land, resources, and energy to produce and maintain windmills, and they do not produce much electricity and wind is not constant. In the old days windmills would be used by farmers to mill their grains, and it would take more or less time to mill his grain depending on the weather, but it was easier than doing it by hand. Windmills can't power modern civilization, but they can still be used by small farmers off the grid for small tasks such as milling grain or powering a radio.

Wonderful question, I can't want to see CSS's explanation beyond it's what he thinks he's entitled to.
I don't think he will answer this one, it's way too complicated and he doesn't have thoughts of his own, if Ron Paul (or whatever is his name) didn't say it, he doesn't know it.

Let me explain: Newspaper headlines are written by sub-editors to grab attention. The Guardian's sub-editor thought that Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change was more attention-grabbing than what James Lovelock actually said. Got it now?

Why don't you start by explaining again how the US government is socialist, so we can be reminded of the inventive word games you will accept when they support your delusion ?
