I don't think socialism is evil either. I'm just pretty darn convinced, after all of my studies and reading, that it does not work on the large scale - like with a nation.
I think socialist-type systems could work with a small group, like a commune farm, but as soon as it gets bigger than a little village, or tries to handle advanced industries and economic structures, it is doomed to either completely fail, or at best be extremely inefficient.
Of course, any structure that gets nations together and encourages open dialogue, instead of just yelling and throwing bombs at each other is great. But when the group turns from dialogue and humanitarian efforts and starts trying to directly interfere with the decisions that a national government makes,
especially regarding matters of our national security, then I am not comfortable with it.
