Socialism has never been a movement of the mass of common men. It has always and everywhere been a movement driven by the elite. 

The pretense of being a movement of the working classes was nothing but intellectual camouflage, a ruse to take in the unwary dumbed down masses.

Look at who is promoting Socialism in this country today. Do they look like Mr. Everyman to you? 

They fly around in private jets while promoting Socialism while the ignorant masses (all liberal Democrats by the way) have been conned into believing that they will get 'free stuff'.

How stupid does one need to be to conclude that anything is free?

Of course the simpletons crying for rent freezes, increased minimum wage laws and the like expect the rich who have actually created something to foot the bill. However it is only certain rich people who need to be targeted of course.

And these are certainly not the productive types.
