"You have a choice. You can have laissez-faire capitalism where the strong crush the weak at every turn or you can have regulated capitalism that is a democratically elected government that uses the rule of law to manage the needs of a society that chooses through the voting booth how their society is to be shaped. If you do not believe in a managed society, then you support chaos and anarchy. You either believe in civilization or you do not. Civilization is a shared set of values that are managed through some form of government. If you do not like the rule of law that supports the shared values of a society or civilization, then I suggest you move to Somalia. They have exactly what you are looking for there."

I believe the above quote is from Paul Farell.
I hear variations of this logic on the radio here in Montreal. A local commenter - Anne Lagace-Dawson tends to argue 'taxes are the base of civilization' and that 'you're delusional if you don't think we're in this together.'
It's moonbattery at its finest.
About the latter, we're all inter-connected and have reason to cooperate voluntarily with each other.
This, I accept.
The issue is COERCED action into pushing the socialist agenda.
That, I reject.
Can't wait to get my Sirius radio set up and find more sane things to listen to.
