Nearly without fail, every self-described socialist I've had the ill-fortune to encounter has been one or a combination of the following: a firmly ensconced public-sector employee with job tenure, indexed pension and vague, specious job titles of minimal utility, or a pampered, sullen, and ingrate beneficiary of family wealth who spends all their time thinking of ways to atone for it. I doubt you will ever find a "socialist" amongst the ranks of those seeking to expand the pie, as it were.

Orwell's description of socialists has never been more apt.
