To me the ultimate take on this is what Hayek so succinctly explains here:
For me, the best articulation of this was in Atlas Shrugged. Of course, not everyone wants to invest in reading a 1000 page novel.

I have to read that one. But regardless of all the factors that allow socialists to manipulate people, what I like of this take by Hayek is that it hits rock-bottom: leaving aside ignorance, stupidity and manipulation, once you get rid of all of that, once you have an informed, intelligent, educated, non-coerced, non-indoctrinated, well-intentioned person, he will still fall for socialism because of what he mentions. One of the aspects I'm working on is to tackle that point specifically. I'm working on that in parallel to another work I have titled "The Inevitability of Socialism"

You would probably get a lot out of Nozick's great book Anarchy, State, and Utopia.

Very interesting! Thank you for the recommendation, I'm for sure using it as contrast when I get my writings done, so to not to mix things beforehand.
