An insightful observer of that evil and idiotic (if they're not one and the same thing) system that used to ravage the economies behind the Iron Curtain and did its best to undermine the characters and mess up the minds of those unfortunate enough to live on the wrong side of the Curtain noted that Socialism heroically struggles to overcome obstacles that it puts in its own way. Which shouldn't have much to do with the system I'm living in at the moment. Except that it has.
PS A lot.
