Is Socialism a good thing?

[Orwell]

Socialism is not really an ideology anyone wants to be apart of. I don't understand why someone would want to be a Socialist, of course, if you support Socialism as the stepping stone to Communism that makes more sense, but just being purely a Socialist is weird. Generally, though the abolition of currency, class, and the hierarchy is something I can get behind in a post-scarcity society.
