Which would you rather be, the lone ant? Or the ant with a small army of grasshoppers patrolling and standing watch while you sleep in exchange for what they failed to prepare for?
Where do you think you will end up when you are a lone ant surrounded by grasshoppers who know you have all the supplies? "Your" grasshoppers will start to wonder why they are the ones doing the work. Socialists are still going to be socialist. They're not going to see you as a benevolent government, they're going to see you as the bourgeoisie.

Not all grasshoppers are cockroaches
You really think that literally everyone who didn't prepare is a socialist?
