That system of government or economics that restricts the desire or ability to strike out on one's own to excel is perhaps faulty.
Is it wrong to want to excel on one's own? It does seem it is not. To the contrary: The desire to excel, to achieve, and accomplish on one's own can be good.
It depends, though. If the desire to achieve is accompanied by a disregard for others -- perhaps even a desire to lord over them -- that is not a good thing. But, the desire to achieve individually can have the opposite objective: A person can want to do well, individually, that what is done will benefit others. And, a person can want to do well just for the contentment of achieving something. That is not wrong.
Socialism might not always be bad. But, when it restricts the person from soaring as an individual, then it is wrong.
