Worrying Socialistic Tendencies

Despite aligning itself mistakenly with the Liberal Democrats during the General Election, the Guardian is still a paper I respect enormously, however recently bloggers on their site have embarked on a remarkable trail of collective socialism.

I can recall two instance in particular that were drawn to my attention:

1) Encouraging People to retire early or at 65 so as to allow the younger generation to takeover the jobs being vacated. This is to say the younger generation are capable of or are competent enough to fill vacancies.

2) Reducing the strain on the housing market, by encouraging widows or the elderly to move out of their large houses to allow younger people to move in, who may have greater need.

These policies are worryingly collectivist, and hark back to a time of idealistic socialism, a period which rightly belongs in the annals of history, I am in favour of free speech, however maybe the best solution would be to allow some unnamed bloggers to be quietly moved on and allow a younger generation to take over.
