Nicely put.
classic socialism = everyone should be paid according to their NEED
modern socialism =  everyone should be paid according to their EFFORT
free market = everyone should be paid according to their VALUE

But you are wrong.  I have an orchard with more apples than I can eat &
you have a ranch with more cattle than you can eat.  If I trade some apples
for some beef, it's a WIN-WIN situation.
