Why is socialism so appealing?


Socialism is naturally appealing because it proclaims that society shall have as it's goal the prosperity of it's members. Socialism proclaims equality as it's goal. There is nothing wrong with that because that is the goal of every democratic country remember - We the people. The problem is that socialism. wants to do that by claiming the right to seize people's property in the interest of society that is it's inherent flaw. By jeopardising a central right of the individual you start feeling free to deprive people of other rights too and that leads to a dictatorship. Because there is no 'society' that is a fiction. In reality only individuals exist and their pursuit of happiness - which is based on the right to own part of that reality. Society only exists as a free association of the individuals to gain the cooperation of others to pursue their individual goals more effectively.
