Would you care to give a bit more info about mass surveillance in the name of socialism? It's first time I hear about it.
Assuming you are arguing in good faith and not trolling, here's a couple of articles about mass surveillance in Russia and China, two states that both claim to be socialist, and who claim to use this mass surveillance to protect and further socialist interests and oppose capitalism:

I do not understand how someone becomes so arrogant about subjects they demonstrably no shit all about.
Dunning-Kruger.

Russia claims to be socialist?? You might have to catch up on the last 30 years, buddy
And using Wikipedia as the source 😭
Russia does not claim to be socialist, nor is it. The PRC's "mass surveillance" is lower than in western countries, and is largely directed against capitalists.
