Unintended consequences of liberal policies

As long as liberals can feed their ego by 'doing something' that they think is compassionate, the results don't matter.


Thomas Sowell - Unintended Consequences

This piece by Thomas Sowell brilliantly highlights the destructive futility of liberals trying to shoehorn their Utopian fantasy world into the real world. Marxist socialists have killed tens of millions of people over the last century by forcible trying to alter human nature to comport with their socialist Utopian fantasy. They are angered when people want to do what is natural and in keeping with cultural norms. This anger leads the Marxist to impose the socialist Utopia onto society no matter what the cost. Marxists, believing in their own ideology with an unwavering religious-like zealotry, will never step back and realize that maybe the problem is not the people who won't accept socialism, but the socialism itself. And so the world has been cursed by the plague of Marxism for a century and a half, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
