In the research paper Egalitarianism and the Elites, published in 1995 in the Review of Austrian Economics, one of Murray Rothbard's most brilliant insights was that even the implementation of an egalitarian society requires leadership. He affirmed that some are naturally more qualified to lead the social processes.
In a statal society, naturally someone will stand out and command the conquest and maintenance of power
- Recently, Western civilization is living a moment in which social constructivism has reappeared, now under the name of "progressivism."
- However, progressivism is nothing more than an attempt to refound society.
These movements deny the social process of institutional development
- Instead, they want to create a new scenario in which they are the dealers
- They are focused on political power, which will reward them with power and wealth
- Improvements in society as a whole don't matter to them, they are just concerned with improvements for the group that commands the mass
- All these movements attempt to solve any problem through state intervention
- Family, religion, and market ethics are under attack, and these movements are working to substitute these private arrangements with state influence and social engineering
It happened in the socialist twentieth century, which promoted the biggest mass murders in human history in countries such as China, Soviet Union, and Cuba
- And it will happen again under the woke progressive socialism of the twenty-first century: the leaders want to be new kings, and they use the masses as infantry to be sacrificed on the battlefields.
