Well said. Back when I was a communist, I routinely got annoyed with people not being able to properly define communism or socialism, and it was part of the reason I left the left. Personally, I define capitalism as "the voluntary exchange of labour and property," though I am leaning more toward abandoning the word entirely in favour of another term for the free market, such as agorism or voluntaryism.

That being said, I disagree that the GOP is socialist; it is corporatist, which is closely-related, but not quite the same thing. Corporatism and socialism are two sides of the same big-government/big-business grift that undermines personal liberty and private property rights.

The last time I wrote on this subject was almost three months ago, but I will eventually resume.
