I'm genuinely curious where you picked up this mental model. There are plenty of reasons to be critical of socialism, no doubt, but what you are describing isn't socialism. Other comments have provided some things to look into, but if genuinely want to learn, I'm happy to explain and answer questions. Who knows, maybe it'll arm you to have stronger arguments against lefties like me, maybe it'll make you go, "oh that's all they want? Shit, I agree with at least some of that." Or maybe you'll still be (incorrectly) convinced that socialism is when "the government does stuff."
