The force behind socialism is pretty simple: the search for some kind of 'cosmic justice'. It's not fair that some people are born more talented than others. It's not fair that some people are born into better families than others. It's not fair that some people work hard and overcome their horrendous upbringing while others never escape their slough of despond. Socialism is a religious jihad against cosmic unfairness. Its sacrament is righteous indignation consumed in large doses. And it's creed is that government, by wielding the threat of deadly force, can make everything right.
