7. Ah, I was thinking in the context of what effect it would have on my Libertarian friends.

If I sent it to them they would seize on this, I know. I've played this before. If I bring up "wealth inequality," I must then argue through the notion that I am advocating "wealth equality," and how unrealistic, blah, blah.
He may be being sarcastic, but implying that the goal of socialism is result oriented, is the same nonsense the Libertarians literally believe. He could have pointed out that socialism is more likely to deliver the "ideal" distribution he acclaims. With such great graphics and production, I expect a higher level of tongue-in-cheekiness. It's OK for me, though.
