i would agree with charalatan and manx for the most part.
and i too am perplexed by anyone actually opposing the notion of social or economic fairness in principle.
historically speaking, more democratic socialist type initiatives have made adjustments in the brutality of markets, their constant generation of social instability. without some kind of counterforce, capitalism would destory any trace of freedom. these initiaves have not been undertaken out of any great kindness on the part of the holders of capital and/or power: they have been forced to take them because the survival of the system was at stake in adapting to the social consequences of capitalism. there really is no argument against this. not in historical terms.
the way in which you invoked marx and lenin, ncb, makes it pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about.
try again.
maybe stick with texts you have actually read.
