The Socialist Dream Will Never Die

From Steven Hayward, at Power Line:
At the end of the day, of course, the socialist impulse is not really rooted in reason or epistemology, but in envy and the desire for authoritarian control. That’s why we’ll never be rid of these people, no matter how many Venezeulas and Cubas you pile up.
Hayward references Friedrich Hayek's "The Use of Knowledge in Society," published at the American Economic Review, in September 1945.

Plus, see "The Socialist Dream Will Never Die (2)." (Linked there is Leszek Kolakowski's, Main Currents of Marxism: The Founders - The Golden Age - The Breakdown.)
