The terror of creeping socialism in our society
Feel free to add your own examples to this frightening list...

1. Take a penny/leave a penny jars in convenience stores operating a slow-boil stealthy wealth redistribution scheme right below our noses!!

2. Kids taking turns on the playground.

3. Scary authoritarian neo-Stalinist teachers actively encouraging kids to take turns on the playground.

4. Zoos feeding jobless animals for free and not even making them do community service hours in exchange!

5. Intrusive government overregulation of traffic at intersections, slowing down job-creating businessmen.

6. Eucharist (ever notice how many cardinals wear red? Makes you think, huh?)

Oh my God!! Is it too late for America already?!?!!!11!

2. The upward redistribution of wealth is not socialism. It is looting.

3. #1 is voluntary, so it can't be considered socialism

4. Birthday Cakes! No pay-to-play there!
Hey I baked it. How come everyone gets a slice even if they didn't help make it?

5. Well, really, the whole supporting children thing
... is blatent socialism. Imagine, for 18 or whatever years feeding, clothing, and housing worthless parasites who do nothing in return. If that isn't socialism, I don't know the meaning of the word!
