As a political ideology based on the redistribution of wealth, socialism stresses the privileges of the many over the rights of the few, but in practice when socialist economic principles are forced onto a nation by a totalitarian government a new Upper Class appears which is much better off than the Lower Class.

= Socialism and Mental Instability =
There is a large amount of evidence that socialism can lead to mental health problems, or vice-versa. The best known example is David Agnew, a young socialist who went insane in 1966 during a secret socialist party meeting. He had displayed symptoms of what we now know as Parkinson's. ''He had not displayed these symptoms before joining the socialist party''. From this, we know that there must be a connection between socialism and mental instability.
