As someone whose family fled from the ex-socialist state of Yugoslavia (well I guess the state itself was socialist, and the ex- part applies to the country itself, but you get what I mean) - who is very much against socialism - this is an absurd connection to make. We're talking about making sure kids have something to eat at the school they go to every day, not giving the workers the means of production. Not everything has to have a profit incentive, and not everything that doesn't make profit can be classed as socialism.

As member of post communist country, I see rising taxes, centrally planed economics and growing financial dependence on state, with losing individual freedom by amount of regulations, as threat.

I was reacting on taxation praising. Note that author of article act voluntary, which is morally acceptable. Taking wealth from people and relocate is not.

That’s a big leap from the comment you are replying to.

You pay taxes for the military right? And for roads? And for the police? And the courts? And for the schools themselves.

Is that socialism?

You took money from people involuntary and relocate. Technically, yes.
