i can't help but object to your infuriatingly narrow-minded view of
socialism as a political movement. you are basing your arguments
against socialism on the worst possible examples, which aren't
actually examples of socialism in practice.
just after the war the labour government came into power in britain
and erected the welfare state (the dole and the NHS, not very
dictatorial policies in my opinion). if you are having a stab at the
welfare state, then don't, as you don't have any ground to stand on,
if you are attacking statism, then be reminded that statism only falls
into stalinist style dictatorship when democracy is abolished. but bad
things happen when democracy is abolished regardless of whether the
government is communist, capitalist or fascist.

again, please don't attack the welfare system, as the only problems i
have with it is that sometimes people fall through the net and end up
on the streets through extreme bad luck or drug addiction (and
countless other causes)

personally, i wouldn't say the welfare state is irrational, but i
won't attempt to persuade you to come round to my point of view, i
don't think i stand a chance.
i know people, friends, who have to rely on government benefits due to
no-one in the household having a job. if you were in this situation, i
doubt you would be ranting on about the evils of 'statism'

do you want me to give you my standard speech on the abuse the poor
often suffer at the hands of large corporations, as well as te
corruption private funding brings into the political system?
naah, besides, i'm getting off topic, i apologise in advance if i am

The main characteristic of a totalitarian regime is a police force whose agenda is to
protect the government instead of the people.
what do you think riot police are for?
