egalitarian

adj : favoring social equality; "a classless society" [syn: classless] n : a person who believes in the equality of all people [syn: equalitarian] [ant: elitist]

you do not only benefit from your labor right now. Unless you are teh owner of your own bussiness there are many others profiting from your labor (they are called the booses/owners). Your selfish assertion that you want your labor to benefit you and you alone is impossible. If you want it to be so you can go live in the woods and become a subsistence farmer. Right now society is bulit around working together to acomplish goals. The only difference in a communist system is that your labor is valued at its actual value, and you are not paid in money, but rather in returned labor from other members of society.

Yes, socialism is a hell of a lot closer to and egalitarian society than this capitalist "democracy" I live in now.
