Issue being is, what do you do about the farmers? What do you do about small business owners? What do you do about Shareholders which can often include the workers of a company which are paid bonuses in shares of the company? What do you do about Libertarian who spit in the face of Collectivism entirely? Issue is, only a minority of people are full blown socialist. Once push comes to shove most people will resist it, definitely once it starts effecting their lives. The poor in Russia for example were quite supportive of the revolution, until the Red Army came knocking at their door demanding stuff as the State believed your Tractor you worked hard/bought was better suited to be used somewhere else that wasn't as productive because they had no tractors. I mean this is the result Orwell eventually came to. Despite some claiming that Animal Farm and 1984 are about Fascism. It's in actuality a narrative of how Socialism becomes Fascism. At this time Orwell was not exactly very fond of Socialist Revolutionaries and was far more critical of the Soviet Union than he ever was the Fascist. Despite himself being an Anarcho-Socialist in the 1920/30s it's quite obvious based on his later writings during the 1940s he became increasingly critical of Socialism. He kept list of fellow Socialist, worked with British Intelligence against Communist, and basically condemned academia for trying to white wash the Soviet Union. So bad was it that I've seen many Marxist call Orwell a Fascist in hiding. I think by the 1940s Orwell saw pretty much no difference between the Marxist than he did the Fascist. Which is why in the final paragraph of "What is Fascism?" he basically states "Socialist of every Colours" need to make admissions, when it comes to defining Fascism. He was implying Socialist are in denial on the origins of Fascism.
