in a market economy, the most successful "socialists" will just be millionaires or the children of millionaires. Their socialism is "successful" if it's marketed to a collection of professional-intellectual sycophants (who try to ride their coattails) and gullible true believers
these people need not, indeed should not, actually be successful at implementing socialist reforms. They need only succeed at implementing socialist branding atop your standard nonprofit scab operation: a few paid intellectual henchmen + a legion of volunteers who work for free
I don't like every pro wrestling gimmick or rebrand, but if it's affording you a low-key "to the manner born" existence, more power to you. The stars of wokeconomics are rational maximizers, too. Just gotta get yours before you get got by a rival trying to cancel your clout!
And these rivals are aggressive. If you play by the rules of their game -- a complicated grand strategy sim that favors victories by technicalities after some faux pas is committed -- you will be disqualified by the rules of that game. You only have a brief window to get yours
The returns are potentially quite good, if you can hang in there. There's an entire toolkit of thinkable thoughts to utter and innumerable trump cards for winning arguments (all of which amount to "so when did you stop beating your spouse?").
Tons of armor class bonuses if you can fit the narrative of your Saleable Self, your Solo-brity, into various categories that insulate you from some but not all criticisms. These stack, so it helps to lay them on thick, one atop the other
It's a fashionable sort of socialism.
