The UK is full of mid- and small-sized towns were people live out of state handouts and have no goals in life but to start having kids when they are teenagers and live off the state until they die. In a true socialist state they'd be shoved into the labor force, using violence if needed, so at least they generate resources to pay for what they consume from the state.

Sure you're being robbed through taxes, but that goes to pay not only the elites but also that people - who would then vote for the hand that gives, as you very well saw in Argentina. I wouldn't call that Socialism, maybe Klepto-Oligocratic Democracy.
