Well of course that's the nature of socialism. People who've been unable or just unwilling to make the effort to have influence sit round complaining about the unalterable fact that the world's not perfect, and imagining how much better it'd be if they were in charge.

Since they'll never be in charge of anything they can make extravagant claims about how great they'd make it. They're never going to actually get the chance to do any of it and so they'll never be expected to make good on the claims.

It's like the Welsh Nationalists of the Green Party having policies about nuclear weapons etc. They can say what they like because they know they'll never be in any position to enact the policies
