This isn't about "socialism" and if capitalism stopped serving their goals they would hate that too.
Everything that does involve a rich person getting money is "redistribution" to them. It is quite simply this they want: You are given a small bag of money from one rich person, you hold onto that bag for a very small amount of time, and sooner or later you will give that small bag of money back to that rich person or another rich person. That money going anywhere else or if it is even delayed in it's journey, then that is... wait for it... MARXISM!!!1!
