Why economic eggheads never stop socialism

Prager U just came out with a video that exemplifies everything wrong with arguments against socialism based on economics.

As much as everything in the video is true the argument misses the forest for the trees.

The reason socialism doesn't work is because it isn't government. It is the denial of us to our government.

When Obamacare was first passed and went into effect there were those who were happy about it because they imagined that it took some of the work of the governance of their lives out of their hands. Conversely, those opposed to Obamacare saw that it would prevent them from their right to govern their own lives in these vital matters.

The Left appeals to the lowest form of corruption: the desire to live without any responsibility of the hard work of governing your own life. Socialism is the promise of this personal corruption. The opposite of Government isn't tyranny. The opposite of Government is corruption. Tyranny finds purchase by the corruption of weak minded people.

This issue is about your right to govern your own life. There is no issue in politics more important.

The Left is quite happy to keep arguments against socialism at the level of wonky economic arguments.

Obamacare is wrong because it is a violation of your right to govern your own life.

Top 10 Reasons Why Obamacare Is Wrong

10. Nothing that comes out of Washington is good.
9. 20,000 pages of regulations.
8. Brought to you by Barack Obama, master economist.
7. Passed by a Democratic Congress.
6. Put the health insurance industry into chaos.
5. To find out what's in it, you have to pass it.
4. Promised choice in providers is now one choice in many locations.
3. We'll pass it now and deal with the problems later.
2. Restriction of trade by the government in requiring "you must offer this."

And the number one reason why Obamacare is wrong, the number one reason:

1. Because it don't work, just like most of the recipients.

Comrades, unlike utopian socialism, health care has become the means necessary to the assertion of mass political organization. Nowhere was this need more widespread than in Washington where a political career necessitated an acquaintance with the intellectual attainments of the permanent value of propositional variables from the media because reality only requires minor changes in definition. So functional symbols in Washington are either functioning with a subscript or functional individual variables and functional constants together should and will cause …..

I think I understood what I thought you said, but I became mired in the verbosity of the party of the second part.
