We also believe in hard work, we just don't allow people to exploit each other's hard work. Although I do understand where you are coming from as many people equate socialism with communism and communists tend to violently suppress or eliminate the opposition. The common notion that equality is the only goal of socialism is misguided.

Every single time communism has been implemented, it fails to prosper. Communism is different from socialism, I will agree. I am going to simply ask this question: Why try and succeed in life if the government will hand you free healthcare, housing, and necessities without you needing to pay. Socialism takes away the need to work for something. Capitalism has its flaws, but socialism takes away motivation to try.
