I'm nice, and try to help my neighbors when they need it, but I am far from a socialist.
from: Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Socialism refers to a broad array of ideologies and movements which aim to improve society through collective action and to a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community."

Meaning, if the community decides something is a bad idea, they should not be forced to support it.
