QotD: The errors of socialist experiments

Filed under: Economics, Government, Quotations — Tags: — Nicholas @ 01:00

The rock on which socialistic experiments have hitherto always foundered is human nature. Any sound political system must be based on a correct appreciation of human nature; and socialism is bound to fail because it offends the best elements of human nature and panders to the worst.

Ivor Thomas, The Socialist Tragedy, 1951.
