Talib and the others are true believers in socialism of the kind that was practiced in the Soviet Union and which is now practiced in China (well, that's a bit too... capitalist, really).
They believe it can be successfully enacted if the right people are in charge. And, like Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, Deng, and others, they truely believe that THEY, and ONLY they, are the right people to be in charge.
