In addition, it comes apart hard on the rocks when it is enforced. Benevolence enforced is a fragile, synthetic, artifice that cannot survive and usually does not evolve into somethign that can.
Socialsm cannot be made mandatory, because it constitutes a kind of social theft. What can be required is the minimum set of devices to provide a leve playing field and a basic level of decency for those in need of charity. My opinion is that some basic safety net of health care comes under this standard.
