Gee Alexander,
       It seems to me that you said a lot of stuff but I notice two features
of your writing.
       First it seems you attempted to define yourself away from the leading
bad examples of Socialism. Given that they were established and operated by
people that were pushing their idea of what socialism is I am not at all sure
you have played within the rules.
       Second, while you were defining yourself away from the bad you did not
give any specific examples of any bright and shining models of how great
socialism can be.
       I think that after 200 years of experience with several dozen
socialist countries and tens of millions of citizens of those countries
having been murdered by their own socialist governments it is up to you to
prove that socialist countries aren't simply mass methods for screwing up a
country and its people by providing us with concrete examples of glorious
progress under socialism.
