socialism is just using the power of central planning and the guiding principle of equality for all people of the world to take a society from where it is right now to where you want it to be. There's nothing better about a socialism where you have to build all the housing versus a socialism where the housing was already built and you can just appropriate it, except that maybe the latter will allow you to house everyone more quickly and cheaply.
