Many young men who are prodigal by nature and receive very large inheritances are key in the re-distribution of wealth without socialism. In extreme forms, of course, one who is a liberal believes in the ballot, where a socialist prefers the bullet. Liberals in general have supported their countries in war.

Socialism wishes to establish collective property relations in the major sectors of the economy.
