Socialists look to force other people to help the poor and needy using the coercive power of the government.

Libertarians look to remove existing government restrictions that prevent those who actually want to help the poor and needy from doing so.

If one thinks restrictions on helping people don't exist and thinks socialism is the way to go, they're probably not paying attention or haven't actually tried to help people themselves and just want to steal people's money or force their will on other people.
