There is absolutely nothing socialistic about any of the campaigns in the running. You're just creating a straw man.

Accruing capital almost never has anything to do with hard work or laziness. It's a lot of luck. What family you were born into, what area of the world, if you had parents growing up etc. You could be the laziest POS and have more money than you could spend in a lifetime.

Tax-funded education and healthcare is necessary to offset some of the insane luck a trust fund kid has vs kid with a single mother with debt and no inheritance in sight. So everyone can have a fair shot at participating in capitalism. Nothing remotely socialistic about it.

Bernie Sanders, one of the frontrunners, calls himself a socialist because he is one. At least he admits it.

He is not a socialist. Nothing he is proposing is socialism.
