Socialism is a potluck you're forced to attend.

There are 300 people and 50 bring food - all mushy canned green beans, which is the state-mandated minimum. There are 3 pieces of chicken for the first ones in line. There are no drinks due to a planning error. https://twitter.com/fireman452a/status/1327731258311360512

The planning committee provides 18,000 pounds of oyster crackers for each potluck.

17,970 pounds of crackers go to waste, but it makes good economic sense to the planning committee because it keeps the state-owned oyster cracker factory operating.

50 attendees are unable to produce due to disability.

100 attendees won't produce because they don't like to work or they're working on a free college degree, majoring in areas like "Feminist Response to the Mating Rituals of Bonobos with Parallels to the Writings of Dickens".

100 attendees used to bring food to the potluck, but they don't see the incentive in continuing to bring food when they can have what everyone else gets with no effort.

They managed to join the non-producers before the planners cracked down on this behavior.

The 50 who bring food are threatened with imprisonment and having their children taken away if they don't continue to bring their mandated food quota.

The planners discuss how to deal with these "traitors" over a 7-course meal at an alternate location.

That's how I see it anyway, but maybe my hair's not purple enough to understand socialism?
