You imply that all social interaction, all communities, all 'socializing' is socialist. That is word weaseling. Sure 'socialism' sounds like 'being social', and 'communism' sounds like 'a community', but this is not what these things are. Socialism has always best been described as 'from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs'. And what does this create? A community of leaches and slaves. The best men suffer expropriation from and are held back by the lazy, the inept, and the criminal.
It has been capitalism, that is 'freedom of action and association', that has dragged men up from primitive, collectivist tribes, or vicious feudalist oppression, to the state they find themselves in now. Prior to the Industrial revolution, life was hard, brutish, and short. It was the formation of a highly capitalist society in countries such as Britain, that finally offered men the chance to live comfortable lives, regardless of their class, cast, or birth.
All capitalists are social. They consider the proper relationship between men to be that of free will, rights, and respect. All socialists are evil. They consider the proper relationship between men to be of sacrifice, guilt, and force.
