I am sorry to be the one to break it to you, but if you do not believe that profit = common good, you are either an arrogant brat, a socialist or, most probably, both.

Hence, my “oversimplification” that the arrogance to even attempt to define categories such as “common” “goods”, ultimately either expresses your socialist identity or turns you to a socialist since there is only one way to realise those ideals: Having people with the “right” mindset build and control the institutions capable of suppressing individual freedoms. What about the right to pursue happiness and satisfaction in life? We know that satisfaction and happiness require struggle. But what if struggling was not included in the definition of the common goods? What about entrepreneurial pursuits or the American Dream? Both require the individual freedom to disagree with the definition of what a common good is in order to pursue a better. etc. I guess you get my point.
