In reality we benefit from socialism a lot. The NHS is an obvious example – I know I personally would be bankrupt by now if it wasn’t for free health care. I would never have been able to afford to get a university education without a heavily subsidised loan. I don’t even pay my “fair share” of taxes because my lower tax rate is subsidised by higher earners.

I’m not a benefit scrounger, I’m just an ordinary working class person, like the vast majority in this country. Part of the lie is that everyone thinks they are middle class now, but anyone earning less than £35k themselves certainly is not.

We all benefit from socialist policies. Only the very rich (£100k+) loose out, and even then it hardly affects their lifestyle. I’d argue it actually benefits them because a “no such thing as society” world is not a very pleasant one.

Rather than being angry at the small minority of benefit-scroungers, you should be angry at the rich and those elements of the media who promote policies that benefit themselves at our expense, and even manage to make us be in favour of them.
