    Try converting to a socialist. Socialism is a system, not a human being. No wonder it is difficult to do that.

      No, socialism is a set of ideals, beliefs and values as well as a system (you can’t have a system without the idea behind it afterall). It’s perfectly reasonable to convert someone into believing in a set of ideals, beliefs and values.

          True. But hardly relevant. To convert someone to something is a perfectly fine grammatical usage. Another example would be when people say they converted to Christianity.
