You know the storey:
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
What Socialism would do.
Steal a fish from one guy and give it to another--and keep doing that on a daily basis--and make the first guy pissed off, and make the second guy lazy and dependent on the government. Then tell the second guy that the first guy is greedy for wanting to keep the fish he caught. Then the second guy will cheer for more stealing of fish. Then the government can prohibit anyone from fishing without getting permission from them. Then expand the racket, stealing fish from more people and buying the loyalty of others and get the recipients of the stolen fish to act as their hired thugs.

Get the Socialmug. A pseudo-dictatorial system of government in which the elected officials rule with virtually totalitarian power. Citizens ruled by such regimes are forced to give up inordinate amounts of hard earned money in the form of ridiculously high taxes. This money goes to raise the standard of living for the impoverished who themselves are often perfectly capable of providing for themselves. Essentially, socialism is theft of hard earned assets to bring up the bottom line.
