>Because then they don’t have to compete honestly out in a competitive free market. They just have their thugs in the government fix things. Plus it keeps those below them on the wealth ladder from from getting close.
Amazingly cynical viewpoint... though it does have the ring of truth. :/
It is also absolutely correct.
The super-rich love socialism -- because, if they play ball, they can keep theirs. And nobody will be allowed to compete with them.
In fact, the super-rich have a genuine advantage in a socialist regime. They will have more influence than in a non-authoritarian regime.
