What? No! That's communism! Wtf are you talking about? Stop writing if you don't know what you're talking about!

Wrong. I'll clarify for you. I said: "...Socialism is restricting or completely banning competition with the state services"

Socialist economies are not all identical. In most, private enterprise is still allowed to compete, however people that opt for the private services are still forced to pay for the public services through taxes.

You're limiting the market when you tax for things like healthcare, schools, etc. because it is less likely that people will be willing to get private healthcare or education when they're already forced to pay for the public offerings through taxes. These private services then become only available to the wealthy who can justify paying twice.

You can have your Socialist oriented businesses in a free market and we won't force you to pay for anything else. Free markets respect individual choice. Socialists on the other hand, insist that everyone pay for their schemes because they are so well intentioned. The individual is demonized and made out to be an ignorant, greedy, fool with no concern for his fellow man. Socialists always no best!
