There is a succinct difference between talking about society and talking about the politics of that society. You were talking about politics and political systems, not the society itself. I merely claimed that your political thinking was collectivist.
I despise socialism as well, but you are picking and choosing. You like some socialism and dislike others. You then decide to re-define the socialism you like in order to make yourself not appear as one.

The thing is, I have already said, the queen does not represent me. If she did, then she would not represent a vast amount of the people of this nation. It is naive to think that I am in any way represented by one woman. In fact, it is impossible for there to be a queen and to have her represent me at the same time, since I believe in republicanism.
You have only turned away from what you define as socialism. Whereas if you look deep into your ideology you will realise that you believe in many different types of distributive justice, which is definitely a socialistic principle.
