However, that does NOT
justify calling very slightly similar things as EQUAL.
However, it is a very different philosophical issue to DECLARE that DEFINITIONS, DISTINCTIVE etc. do not matter and in a mindless Eastern religion sort of way...
one world government and religion? You mean like catholicism? Or islam? Or judaism? Tried to do before our secular government was formed?

YES! The oligarchy has long been relentlessly using DIVIDE AND CONQUER to ruthlessly consume the planet toward their unitary one world government and one world religion.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ABOUT THAT.

ALL IS ONE
so all we need to do is sit around and chant OOOOMMMMM in absolute unison and all will be well.
All is NOT ONE.
White is DIFFERENT from black.
Tyranny is DIFFERENT from freedom.
Up is different from down.
Left is different from right.
Evil is different from Good.
And socialism . . . at least current hideous-enough versions of it . . . is LESS horrific, less overtly destructive, less fostering of starvation etc. than brazen Communism.
YES socialism is ALSO bad in a list of ways and is merely a stop on the train line toward Communism and beyond that to utter tyranny.
But socialism and Communism as construed and demonstrated the last 150 years on this planet are NOT the IDENTICALLY THE SAME things.
Saying they are is linguistic, philosophical nonsense preventative of any rational dialogue.

As in
a ONE WORLD RELIGION DEMANDING worship of satan incarnated in the one world leader as though he were God Almighty
or die, by execution.
