What I have observed of individuals drawn to socialism are two things.
  1. Some seem to have genuine desire to see humans prosper and avoid suffering. They are naive and maybe a bit self-righteous in their position seeing those that oppose their solutions as greedy.
  2. Most seem to be driven by envy. Greed is no respecter of wealth. You can be poor or rich and greedy.

Fair point, and probably this distinction between those who are genuine but naive; and those who are basically control freaks, applies to most politics/religions..

Yeah, it probably does apply broadly.
