To do this, power must be centralized in the hands of the political state. In practice, socialism's redistribution of wealth ends up with bureaucrats doling out poverty and dependency on the state. If government could give you everything you want, it must have the power to take everything you've got. This is the real agenda of socialism. It is the total political institutionalization of violence and exploitation in the name of abolishing exploitation.
Socialism is an old dream.
Some dreams are nightmares when put into practice.
