Marxist socialism may require force, but most others define socialism as having democratic or anarchic systems of control.
All societies force their members to do something to be part of them, and some societies do not allow people to leave, even if they disagree with core parts of that social contract.
I disagree with large chunks of the US social contract, but find it a good balance overall. Yet I am still forced to take part in many systems that I would rather not take part in.
- WalterBright 4y agoYou're free to leave the US. The border fence is to keep people out, not in.
- epistasis 4y agoLeave the US for where? Who will let me in and under what societal forces? It's inescapable. And even if I were to find my spot, generate massive wealth, and I'm outside any society forcing me to do anything, I will now find that other societies I'm not part of, that have lots of weapons, might want to come and take whatever wealth I have generated, by force. And who will stop them unless I use force back? If you don't feel that society in the US forces you to beg Ave in certain ways, then either you have somehow licked intro eh one society that perfectly matches your views on every single matter, or you are not aware of how our society is forcing you to do things that you would rather now do.
