  18. After the Gulag leaked out, championing socialism became a tough sell. Since George Orwell - a former socialist - figured out it was all a sham, the elites switched tactics from "Socialism is great!" to systematically discrediting free-market capitalism. With generations indoctrinated against free-market capitalism, socialism became more and more popular amongst academics, who dared not speak its name until quite recently. Now we're back to the 1920s, again, where socialism represents some kind of utopian alternative to free-market capitalism and limited government. Most people don't understand the basic principles and main differences between socialist authoritarianism and free-market capitalism. Nobody understands the concept of Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand," because it's, well, invisible! It's far easier to parade a few people you used taxpayer money to benefit than it is to show the destruction of the engine of prosperity that lifts EVERYone. It's not an invisible hand. It's an invisible tide that raises all boats simultaneously, through millions of individual transactions and choices made VOLUNTARILY by people. The so-called 'left' (whom I see as re-branded authoritarian right with a kinder, gentler mask) don't trust the people, so they foolishly put all their faith in the most toxic power seekers in the country, rewarding foolish policies with votes, because there's Free Stuff in it for those who support total demagogues. Most of the progress of the 20th Century was in SPITE of what the government was doing. Our free-market economy generated so much wealth and prosperity that the erosion of our prosperity by demagogues was not as great as the engine of prosperity: Free people incentivized to excellence by profit. The economy is NOT a zero-sum game. We CREATE wealth through hard work and innovation. And we get the most innovation from a free society that allows EVERYbody the right to KEEP what they build or earn. Socialists hate that. They want power and they want to MAKE winners they can show off, rather than LETTING people win on their own merits.
