“We tried that”
When critiquing Marxism/socialism, it’s become common to simply note that such systems “don’t work.” While that’s true to a degree, it could be argued that they actually “work” quite well to their ultimate purpose, which is to redistribute power to a clique of disgruntled intellectuals.
Our concern shouldn’t be simply their ineffectiveness as economic systems but more importantly, their consistent pattern of imposing violent punitive government.
