That was, I believe, peonage. A rather different concept. And so is
serfdom, though again it's not the same one. Utopia? Why do you keep
asserting that I desire socialism merely because I want a useable
definition? Once I know what it is, then I would be in a position to
decide whether I was desirous of it or not. Lacking that, I don't even
know what it is you are accusing me of.

But calling a horses tail a leg doesn't make it one.
