I believe socialists think that the existing system is illegitimate and therefore those who are successful in the system as evidenced by accumulating wealth are themselves only all the more illegitimate.
When they accumulate wealth for the cells, an extra measure of hypocrisy makes it quite tolerable, even respectable.
