Slate’s William Saletan explains why he called Christine O’Donnell a masturbation socialist.
When I called O’Donnell a socialist, I relied not on a technical definition of socialism but on her own analysis of socialism’s essence and its underlying error. “There is a fundamental flaw with socialism that makes it never work,” she said. “And the fundamental flaw in socialism is that it reduces the human being to a cog in the wheel.”
There are many ways you can be reduced to a cog in a wheel. The government can claim your money in the name of progress. The church can claim your sexuality in the name of procreation. You can be asked to stand at attention, as I was in my youth, for Christian prayers read over a school loudspeaker.

It is also a good quick summary of Christine O’Donnell’s wacky and dehumaizing notions about human sexuality.
