Well, let's not get to discussing what's real or not. That wasn't the point, the point was, that at the heart of socialism is the idea that the individual must sacrifice for the sake of others - I mean, for example, that they must work some proportion of their time for the sake of others, that they must give some proportion of their wealth to others, or, to put it another way that an individual is not entitled to their own life/wealth but that others are entitled to a piece of them. This idea that the individual is subordinate to the group is the root of the various other abuses of the individuals right to their own mind, views, freedom of expression and association etc that various incarnations of socialism have been responsible for.

It's this idea which underlies some of the attitudes Renton alluded to in the OP - that some people consider that there can be such a thing as "too much profit", or that it can be wrong to pay someone $1 an hour.
