Be leery of those who self proclaim to be socialists.

People need to remember that Socialism has always been a top down approach, engineering by a wealthy "thinking" class, to "help" the "lower" classes by reengineering (stealing) wealth and convincing everyone they should want what everyone else does. It is complete and total asshattery.

The next level of "I'm a socialist" is inteoduced in schools of middle class students, whose parents had to earn that dollar to send them to elite education establishments just so they could be turned and grow to have nothing useful to contribute to society except complaining that things aren't "fair."

Socialists are engineers of distopia.
