People don't want socialism, they want capitalism without so many privileges
Basically that's what's in the title. People, within their social movements that call themselves left-wing, in general, do not want socialism.
In reality, if they had socialism, they would be fighting for "freedom" just as they are now. What they really want is to be more in the capitalism game. A fairer capitalism without privileges for a minimum portion of the population.
And I think this is incredibly hypocritical. I mean, isn't it easier to be sincere about your ideals?
