Capitalist hoard their wealth and create poverty. Socialist believe poverty can be eliminated by redistributing the hoarded wealth of capitalist pigs.

For example, outsourcing labor to countries with lower wages and eliminating jobs through automation are a forms of wealth hoarding. Extreme wealth hoarding was the catalyst that lead to Detroit becoming bankrupt.

I diverted this creek away from my neighbor and now I grow enough corn to hire maids to keep my house clean and cook my food. So glad I had the technology to divert this creek away from my neighbors who are now beggars.

Diverting jobs to overseas jobs markets and away from American workers who rely on the jobs to earn a living is like diverting a water source away from neighboring farms who rely on the flow of water to water their crops so they can earn a living.

"I built it with my hands. Straightened old nails to put the sheathing on. Rafters are
wired to the stringers with baling wire. It's mine. I built it. You bump it down—I'll be
in the window with a rifle. You even come too close and I'll pot you like a rabbit."
"It's not me. There's nothing I can do. I'll lose my job if I don't do it. And look—
suppose you kill me? They'll just hang you, but long before you're hung there'll be
another guy on the tractor, and he'll bump the house down. You're not killing the right
guy."
"That's so," the tenant said. "Who gave you orders? I'll go after him. He's the one to
kill."
"You're wrong. He got his orders from the bank. The bank told him, 'Clear those
people out or it's your job.'"
"Well, there's a president of the bank. There's a board of directors. I'll fill up the
magazine of the rifle and go into the bank."
The driver said, "Fellow was telling me the bank gets orders from the East. The
orders were, 'Make the land show profit or we'll close you up.'"
"But where does it stop? Who can we shoot? I don't aim to starve to death before I
kill the man that's starving me."
"I don't know. Maybe there's nobody to shoot. Maybe the thing isn't men at all.
Maybe like you said, the property's doing it. Anyway I told you my orders."
"I got to figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop
this. It's not like lightning or earthquakes. We've got a bad thing made by men, and by
God that's something we can change."

I think socialist policies are p cool to some extent but I don't self-identify as 'a socialist' because people are too stupid to understand what words mean and mentally associate that word with things it doesn't mean, then post semi-ironic threads about socialism on comedy websites.

Most people I've seen claiming to be socialists don't really know what it means either. They think it means having socialized healthcare and free money from the government.
