: Don: When I think of freedom, I think of rights. Further, I think of rights that the government has no rightful power to take away.

You presently have the right---or is that freedom?---to work or starve.

In the socialist future you will have the same right (freedom).

Only in the socialist future, you'll be working for the proletariat, not the capitalist.

The rights (freedoms) will be the same.

Work or starve.

Get it?

Oh, I forget, you ARE a proletariat and I'm (probably) a snot-nosed Harvard boy.

Funny how you support the capitalists, though. They give you more to eat when you do, eh?
