The Unabomber said it even better in his manifesto. You might find the source controversial, but Paragraph 16 has become lifelong wisdom for me:
Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative,” “enterprise,” “optimism,” etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s problems for them, satisfy everyone’s needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.
It is worth reflecting on the fact that one cannot be free, if one is dependent on the favor of everyone else. Socialism entails mutual dependency and, thus, everyone is not free. The opposite is independence, so that each one can be free of the other (no oppression).
People think they need to be free in order to be independent. The closer truth is that they need to be independent in order to be free.

I’ll take care of myself regardless of how much you assholes rape rob and pillage me for MY own money that I make.
Socialism:
u/#tired
People fall for it too when life gets too hard to survive because the state has been making it harder to survive.
The states manufactures the demand for socialism, if you see what I mean
Nicely worded.
Accepting socialism is akin to loudly proclaiming "I'm a fag".
And for the gay members of GAW, no offense meant. We're taking that word back. Please reference South Park Season 13, episode 12.
Indeed not!
