2 thoughts on “Socialists’ Approach To Crime Reflects Their Worldview”

  1. I don’t think socialism/collectivism hinges on this much. It is simpler. Collectivism is always just a ploy to gain power.

    Man isn’t anymore inherently sinful than an amoeba (also self-interested) is. Civilization is about rules that punish those hurting other people and letting people keep the rewards of their profits from serving their fellowman well.

    1. I think you are right, J. Sobran, that collectivists’/socialists’ actions are often predicated on what will secure power for them. That is unquestionably true; and we have seen it repeatedly. I think the speaker in this video raises a provocative point that the socialists’ approach to crime is based on an erroneous, naive view of human nature. My gut feeling is that there is something to that. It is entirely possible– indeed probable– that both your point and his are true.
