There is nothing spontaneous about socialism where it appeared in the early 20th century. It was calculated apart from and above the people who it purported to 'liberate'. It 'exploited the fear of workers, isolated them and undermined their historical individuality...making them feel powerless...in need of a system to guarantee everything for them. Socialism is nothing but a systematic form of egalitarian barbarism which institutionalizes pillage and looting' (read, taxation) Only moral cripples can accept socialism or anything like it. Ortega y Gasset said it was 'a piece of moral extravagance.. a dead letter'.

It's a way of maintaining a royal upper class, by basing it on ideology, rather than family.
It has absolutely nothing to do with equality (of opportunity, for example), and we all know that egalitarianism is a myth.
The goal of socialism is the elevation of the public trough class to the status of masters over we the people, we the slaves.
