What's the functional difference of the government regulating nearly every aspect of the economy and goosing it up with subsidies, and it controlling the economy? The difference between fascism and socialism? Saying you're for markets but desire government intervention in every facet of them means you are for markets when it comes to trivial

So this ideology's entire position hinges on whether you own value or not? Well, you don't. Nor is ownership predicated on it. Why would you own value? If I were to create complementary goods that increase the value, say, of a PS3, should I get to tax Sony for this additional value they have now acquired through no effort of their own? And if
