Was Robin Hood a Socialist?

We’ve all heard the saying, He Robbed From The Rich and Gave To The Poor, but wouldn’t that make him a socialist?

I’ve been read a lot about the horrors of socialism. I’ve read about how, if everybody has access to healthcare, that means that the super wealthy will have to wait in line with poor people! All of this got me thinking, isn’t that beloved story I’ve grown to know and love a socialist folk tale that predated Karl Marx?

But really, I began to think about it. Those crazy liberals are against a persons right to carry a weapon, and Robin Hood loved his Bow and Arrow.

He also hung out with a militia and you know what old Baracky Hussain Obama says about militias, right? They’re terrorists!

And I’ve been thinking about it. Robin Hood doesn’t actually rob from the rich and give to the poor. He robs from the Prince. The villian of the story is a Sherrif who was responsible for collecting taxes. If anything, Robin Hood an his militia of patriots were actually rebeling against an old IRS.

So Robin Hood was a war hero, a weapon carrying militia man who was more than likely a devout christian. He is an icon that all libertarians should follow!
