If I'm wrong... I'm wrong.
Just tell me the ones you oppose...
then tell me which ones aren't socialist.

Sorry, but none of those things are socialist in and of themselves. If all of them were taken to the extreme, then, maybe, collectively, you'd have something resembling real socialism.
I'm afraid yours is a surprisingly common form of idiocy in less educated right wing circles. Like any good sheep, you know that to be a right wing kook in good standing you have to hate certain things. Welfare, universal heathcare/insurance, seperation of Church and State, and so on. The problem is, you aren't intellegent enough to form articulate arguments against them. So, as a substitute for the intelligent argumentation of which you are incapable, you try to win using the childish tactic of slapping labels on things.. as if they very act of saying it magically made what you were labeling bad. Psychologists like to call this "magical thinking" or "emotional thinking", but I think idiocy is just as good.
Problem is that the only people that works on are fellow right wingers, and even then only those stupid enough to have irrational, knee jerk reactions to the word "socialist"
Go back to your Rush Limbaugh, sheep.
