I mean really, without the propaganda behind the system and the sugar-coating of it.

Marxist? Or do you mean benevolent socialism that just guarantees jobs and has mild worker protection?

It amazes me how desperately people pine for a system which has and continues proving itself a failure. I don't get it. If you want to steal for a better outcome in life, grow some balls and just do it. Hiding behind the collective doesn't make it any more right.

Socialist? That's when the government encourages people to be more social and makes some laws about it?

Well America would be more talkative.

If one were to steal there will be consequences for getting caught. And what would people be stealing in a socialist environment again?

depends on what industries are socialized i guess.
i'd socialize oil and gas and give everyone a subsidy instead of a gas tax.
probably kill medicare and medicaid and just give everyone a guaranteed minimum income instead of welfare and all that.

i dunno. maybe then i'd make a state TV station i guess. let's see, what would hugo chavez do next?
i'd visit Cuba. maybe some state involvement in banking?
definitely take over real estate.
