What is socialism as a means of providing basic necessities of life?

Socialism seeks to equalize poverty, but true progress arises from embracing our uniqueness and the creativity that inequality fosters.

— Osho
According to Osho, socialism, sold as a way to provide basic necessities, is unnecessary and self-defeating: science and efficient organization can supply food, shelter, and clothing better without socialism. Socialism mainly equalizes poverty, flattens individuality, and breeds stagnation. The deeper human need is uniqueness and mental growth; inequality energizes creativity and progress, making capitalism a more natural, dynamic order.

Making everyone equal to give them basics keeps people poor and dull; we can meet needs without that and let people stay unique and grow.
