   The biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly    
   diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential    
   survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations    
   into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with    
   what it actually is.
