The goals of socialist are very noble, but it would never work, and History has proved that. Big Government is just a huge mess where nothing gets done. This is why nationalized health care would solve nothing. People in socialist countries often have to wait months to years to get government approval for a surgery.

Because government is the only viable way to hold a gun to EVERYBODY'S head and ensure that they're giving according to their abilities. Without a massive government in control of collection and distribution people will, *gasp*, want to keep what they've earned! I know, it sounds silly, but it's true! Basically socialists think government is the answer because it's their only option. Any other method would be ground into the dirt by people who value their freedoms. Socialsim is all about power, and as Mao (who I think had a few socialist leanings) said, "Power comes from the barrel of a gun."

Because corporations continually prove their greed and disregard of what is good for society. The base the decisions and actions on the highest possible profit with no regard for what their actions do to the people and to the environment. Government is the only check on the greed, and the only protection for the people who are not as strong or capable. Government regulation used to keep things reasonable and protect us from the excesses of business. That is their job, but conservatives have eliminated that check on corporate greed. I don't see how government regulation could have worse results that the greed of the last 20/30 years of Rep conservative rape of the people rights and disregard for their needs.

Because our leaders are a bunch of Incompetent Nincompoops. The gibbering imbeciles need to be sorted, not given Knighthoods. They are now going to publish all of each persons details in separate letters (such as Name address, N.I Number & details of any benefit. How many will get lost in the post I wonder.

Because if you can check any records Socialists usually have a job where their pay is usually stolen from the working productive classes of people and given to them. My opinion is they feel superior to the hard working classes of people that support them.

Because gov't is the only institution they have that can make us all "equal" as they see it. Gov't can do this by punishing those who are too well off and bring them down, so all have equal outcomes.

Apparently, yes they do think so.
They just keep on naively thinking that the NEXT incarnation of socialism will "get it right"
