Has anyone ever noticed that socialists rarely dare to apply socialism and redistribution of wealth at the very local community level? Have you ever attended an event run by progressive socialists where wealthier attendees had to pay more or were even asked to pay more? I've been in event planning discussions with people and have had the idea of people with less income having to pay less, and the response is usually "oh no, that would be patronizing/make them feel disrespected/loss of dignity" by said socialists.
However, they demand these ideas be put into action at the highest levels possible. Hell, I have friends who won't dare let me buy them lunch but absolutely think I should pay for their health care (although they don't realize that's exactly their ask when they say the rich should pay for everything).
