Something tells me even if we sat them down and talked it through, they still wouldn't understand the problem with their thinking

This libertarian view of privatizing everything is, imo, childish.

This strawman you're presenting of what I said is childish imo. I think this will be my last post in this thread. I haven't found anyone worth talking to as everyone gets their panties in a bunch when someone disagrees with government run whatever and goes full retard.

You really think that privatizing everything won't enable only the rich to own everything?

Doesn't matter when the rich own the government huh? Kind of why we're called an oligarchy and see high prices in government run utilities. At least free markets allow competition to cut down on monopolies. Government creates them.

And once they own everything what is to stop them from keeping all of the resources to themselves?

Depends on how they got the resources. Not everything is privately owned. But if someone generates electricity, should they be unable to determine what to do with it? More businesses competing drive down costs. Having one government run one drives it up. I love it how liberals accept monopolies and bullshit if its from the government. We hate Comcast, yet put up with bullshit from the DMV, and people just shrug their shoulders. Its pretty funny.

Then using you or I as (without calling it what it isn't) slaves?

Probably because that's illegal. And I never said privatize everything. This whole argument boils down to an argument I never made.

Socialism enables everyone to be a part of the community that they live in if they choose.

That's a high school view of it sure. Give the government power and it will surely benefit everyone. As only private entities can be corrupt.

Yes some will take advantage, but not every human endeavor makes money, but that doesn't mean that they are not of value.

Just as some will take advantage in the private world. But you only view that as bad for some reason.

You don't have to agree with this but the alternative is patently worse.

I don't agree with it because I'm not a child.

I think I'm done here. If anyone wants to present any actual arguments, I'll respond. But your post was just too much for me to want to go through that shit again.
