Socialism is not a meritocracy. By definition it places increasingly confining restraints on those that succeed the most.

Individuals can only volunteer their will. The collective has no rights if not by the use of force and coercion. Collectivism is not a collection of individuals; It is the complete denial of the individual and its rights. Socialism is not cooperation of individuals; it is the denial of individual rights and individual dignity.

Socialists and Progressives confuse compassion and compulsion.
