4. That's a weak argument
Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by socialism. The fact that not everybody can win inspires people to do their best and to outperform their competition. In socialism there is no incentive to do better than anybody else (except of course out of the goodness of our hearts (which means we will all be getting new hearts)).

This is an argument that we should have a safety net and minimum wage, rather than argument for socialism.
