Ben Shapiro and “Socialism is THEFT!”: Getting Consistent

Ben Shapiro is widely regarded as a brilliant conservative mind. He “destroys” his opponents not with flourishing rhetoric so much as with bare facts and logic, usually dispensed at machine gun rates. He is widely perceived as a cold logician, a no-compromise conservative thinker.

So, when he said, “Socialism is indeed theft,” I was curious to find out if he would really stick with the logic of that. It is so easy to poke fun at Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for their “Socialism,” but once you define things correctly, that sword starts to swing both directions, and it is not easy to escape.
