Except in no place have you made a successful argument that your brand of socialism is required or instrumental in the maintenance of such order. In fact, as society has greatly flourished, all things considered in the past two centuries and the topics we are debating revolve around relatively new or upcoming introductions into our economic and political life - it is therefore demonstratively false that your "Somalia example" serves as anything but a Red Herring in the discussion.
