>>>Sorry that I put the destruction of social safety nets into this one where we discuss McCain's decision to join the choiceless campus. I did that only because to me both the reversal of Roe vs Wade, assault on Social Security and many other issues are a part of the general attempt to revoke many of the liberties and pretty much return the country into the XIX century, socially. And spread that all over the world, as much as possible.

Do you mean competition with 'communal property'?
In regard to liberties revoked by socialism (sorry, that the only serious issue that I found in your message), they are essentially following. Socialism infringes on private property right by taking out significant part of individual property with the purpose to redistribute it. In purer form, it takes over all parts.
In my opinion, private property is a cornerstone for any liberties. As you probably remember, despite your profession to grow up on market, that socialism declared any possible liberties except this one, because it knew that people stripped off their property are less dangerous for powers and could be easier manipulated.
