Corrupt, stupid grasping functionaries will make at least as big a
muddle of socialism as stupid, selfish and acquisitive employers can
make of capitalism.
— Walter Lippmann
And what if you have “[c]orrupt, stupid grasping functionaries ” in the thrall of “stupid, selfish and acquisitive” capitalists as we have just seen in the defeated GOP congressional majority?
Yeah, Lippman is right in the fundamentally flaws of human nature. Where I come down on this is that I’d rather have a corrupt inefficient socialist bureaucracy leaking money into the pockets of the many than a corrupt inefficient capitalist state funneling into the pockets of the few.
