Socialism as a concept is a very admirable idea. It's the idea of social cooperation. The strong helping the weak and the fortunate helping the less fortunate. the positive idea of socialism gets bastardized by unsophisticated thinking.

Eldridge Cleaver said it best: "competition is the law of the jungle and copperation is the law of civilization."

All civilized modern socieities are one form of a welfare state or another. As they should be. A combination of capiialism and socialism.

People also mix up economic systems with political systems. Sweden for instance, is a socialized democracy. China is a socialized dictatorship.

Some people are greedy and do not like to share, so they dislike the idea of socialism. Society has the right and indeed the obligation to force them to share.
