So, what are you arguing here, that someone who truly understands Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution would either think or not think exactly like you do about vaccinations?
That when humankind “intentionally altered his environment, evolution, and thus his destiny” by creating vaccines for these afflictions…

…it was going in the right or the wrong direction?
And the extent to which socialism is “authoritarian” is obviously open to debate among those who embody conflicting political prejudices.
But I have very little doubt that when it comes to encompassing all that rational men and women are obligated to think about in regard to socialism, you set yourself up here as the one and the only authority.
Right?
In my own personal opinion, you just do not grasp or refuse to accept how some of us see that dogmatic arrogance as a psychological manifestation of this:
1] For one reason or another [rooted largely in dasein], you are taught or come into contact with [through your upbringing, a friend, a book, an experience etc.] a worldview, a philosophy of life in regard to socialism.
2] Over time, you become convinced that this perspective on socialism expresses and encompasses the most rational and objective truth. This truth then becomes increasingly more vital, more essential to you as a foundation, a justification, a celebration of all that is moral as opposed to immoral, rational as opposed to irrational.
3] Eventually, for some, they begin to bump into others who feel the same way about socialism; they may even begin to actively seek out folks similarly inclined to view the world in a particular way.
4] Some begin to share this political and philosophical perspective on socialism with family, friends, colleagues, associates, Internet denizens; increasingly it becomes more and more a part of their life. It becomes, in other words, more intertwined in their personal relationships with others…it begins to bind them emotionally and psychologically.
5] As yet more time passes, they start to feel increasingly compelled not only to share their Truth about socialism with others but, in turn, to vigorously defend it against any and all detractors as well.
6] For some, it can reach the point where they are no longer able to realistically construe an argument that disputes their own regarding socialism as merely a difference of opinion; they see it instead as, for all intents and purposes, an attack on their intellectual integrity…on their very Self.
7] Finally, a stage is reached [again for some] where the original philosophical quest for truth, for wisdom about socialism has become so profoundly integrated into their self-identity [professionally, socially, psychologically, emotionally] defending it has less and less to do with philosophy at all. And certainly less and less to do with “logic”.
