"Done right" always seems to mean "put me in charge."

Which is the scariest part about socialism and why it always ends up bad for human rights.

Socialists say capitalism is bad because of greed. Socialism has to assume that greed somehow goes away. But that's not how human nature works, which is why socialism never works. It has never been done right because it cannot be.

Since greed never goes away, collectivist regimes--socialist, communist, fascist--inevitably require strong, overbearing central governments to impose their will on the people.

What's even scarier is quite a lot of millennials want it, not realizing that greed must be non-existent for it to work. And millennials are typically referred to as the "me" generation. Wonder how that's gonna work? (Horrifically bad.)
