Whether or not socialism can be logically defended doesn't interest me (cause it's so obvious to me that it can't be).

I stopped reading here.

You made it that far? That's pretty good considering this post is of no consequence to someone who is not an ACer or something close to it.

If there is a logical justification, I don't see it. So what I said is it doesn't interest me to talk about it. Hence why I had been dwelling on anti-AC minutia.

You said a "logical defense". You did not say in the post that you hadn't heard a logical justification. This changes things completely.

I certainly havn't read anything that gave a legitmate justification of exerminating me and my family to create a utopian/ Aryan Fatherland. Nor do I think anyone could ever do so. I do, however, acknowledge that over the past 200 years there has been some very well written 'logical defenses' of such ideology that would result in such an injustice.

Perhaps you should edit your post with the amendment you have made in the consequent post (justification instead of defence) as to save you from the embarrassing stigma of the implication of your wording suggesting that you have never read any of the greatest political/philosophers of all time that have written some of the most wonderfully convincing logical defenses of socialism. I for one am highly appreciative of their efforts which have allowed me to critique and develop my ideas on society that I believe grant even more meaningful "logical defenses" than that of state socialism.
