Absolutely! Knowing that its a waste of time as an individual is useless. Everyone else continues to believe in it so I have to grudgingly carry on with it don't I?
here you are saying you long to be a part of a socialist society in which people are working in common towards human aims, and not the accumulation of capital.
Would you not rather change things than grudgingly carry on?
By shooting people perhaps?
You're not going to change anything by refusing to pay

Socialism by the way is just an authoritarian government with benefits hand outs...a society with no money whatsoever would need a new word to describe such an 'ism'
The Russian Revolution was about the need for revolution more than it was about the need for some Western symbol like "freedum", seriously it's starting to feel Orwellian here, people were not dying for slogans, but for the Socialist Revolution, what actually stole it from them was not a dead guy and the people leading the Revolution but the failure of the Revolution in the places where it was essential for Russian Success, IE Germany, Britain, France etcetera, the Russians are still waiting.
No it isn't andyh, don't be so utterly ridiculous.
And Freedom is a symbol, it certainly has been reduced to one by constant repetition of the likes of American presidents, and western cold war politicians, do you think the native Americans had no Freedom till white settlers gave them the Bill of Rights?
So now I'm being utterly ridiculous in saying that freedom is not a symbol.

Does it say anywhere above anything about native americans or for that matter a bill of rights being needed for freedom?
Nope..in fact I explicity state that no such pieces of paper or authority need exist for there to be freedom
