*I* didn't assert anything!

I reported that *Sehon* (Caplan's debating partner) defines socialism such that it includes anything significantly more egalitarian, and/or with more collective economic control, than the U.S. For instance, Norway. (That's his example, not mine).

Put aside the labels. Surely it's interesting to debate whether society should have an economy that's more like Norway's or the U.S.'s?

It's worth debating but that's a horrible definition of socialism.
