Socialists seek a king, though they would not admit it.
And socialism delivers an oligarchy, though they think that’s what they are against.
And the only way socialism works is with the aid of institutionalized corruption. Corruption is necessary or the whole system grinds to a halt. Except in this case, where even the corruption is so centralized that there is not enough to go around to keep the machinery lubricated.
Criminal organizations would be much nicer if they got rid of all those thugs and became friendly, sort of like Robin and his Merry Band.
