This is you calling the rest of us stupid.

Single out? No, I generalized.
I know the meaning of the words I use, and I mean what I say. I said associate and I meant it. You said equate so clearly I was wrong in assuming that you only associate central planning with communism, when the reality is that you consider them to be the same thing. I believe that's what you're accusing the right of. Congratulations, you're projecting.

If you actually read and understood my posts then you'd see that I accused you of singling out a group of people. Assigning a quality to a group is a generalization.
