Sure! As long as they explain why they aren't giving everything to the needy and opening up their mansions to the homeless. 

There are ways to design more equitable distributions of resources and fairness in opportunities that don’t entail giving it all away.

I have to get back on the road but here is an example.

Earlier today, I bought what you might consider “luxury” yarn at two stores.

The orange gold purple skeins are from
Peru. The assortment of other skeins are from Uruguay.

These are small farm holders, but fair wages to employees and kind treatment of the animals - alpacas and sheep.

Free trade fair trade

Means happy customer (me!)

Happy yarn shop owner who is delighted to carry Malabrigo and Manos del Uruguay

And people able to work and run profitable sustainable businesses in challenging regions.

This is more about International socialism than domestic voting. But the underlying principles are the same.

And let women (especially unmarried ones) have the right to earn, with daycare on site or babies at their sides. : )

The yarn. And for the economically minded - this is about $100 worth of hand dyed superwash merino wool. Lovely stuff - if you could only feel it through this forum, you would really like it. We need Virtual Reality!

That is great. So you are selfishly supporting businesses that will provide the goods you prefer. I don't call that Socialism. That's just common sense. It's probably ineffective, unless you are knitting in serious bulk. But at least it makes you feel good. And that's also great. But again nothing to do with Socialism. 

Socialism would have me fund those alpaca farmers even though I've done all the knitting I want to. 

Go on, let a dozen homeless sleep in your mansion! Ok, five. One?

If you ever become homeless due to crazy Brexit scenarios, market crash, ten year depression, you will be welcome to stay at my lake house.

Along with Mrs. W and assorted children, pets, books....and of course all of my friends who will be crashing there short medium or long term...

You will be in good company. : )

I think what Trackstar is doing is philanthropy. I'd need to say charitability in my own case as it's in a large part dedicated to animal welfare causes (just 3-4 hours a week of my time + money; I don't mention such jokes as giving away old clothes or toys to the poor and orphans ).

Seriously, money made me unhappy, so why would I give it to other people?

You are denying people an opportunity? The opportunity to be unhappy. But seriously if poor people knew how unhappy we rich people are then they'd think twice about raising taxes and making us happier.

(Now if I ever got into public life that will be used against me. That and my large collection of Robertson's [redacted].)

Talking of crazy: https://www.bacp.co.uk/news/news-from-bacp/2019/11-april-one-third-of-adults-say-brexit-has-affected-their-mental-health-bacp-research-finds/

Rich lefties and young people are apparently suffering most from Brexit Derangement Syndrome. No backbone. 

All threads lead to Brexit.

I'll fight you with your own ML weapon, ISayMoo Why not divide-and-conquer algorithm: the global problem consists of local ones - let people solve them locally.

You can give all your money away first and still form a collective. 

They don't always work. Try eradicating smallpox in this way.

Do you know what the word "vaccine" comes from?

Sounds like a cow was involved.

Exactly! If everybody loved cows, smallpox wouldn't be an issue.
Veganism >> socialism

Is there any Socialist who will unilaterally practice what they preach?

There are quite many rich, privately educated and intelligent idiots.
