      Bastiat, before Marx, wrote of the communist movement expecting the Great Leap forward, the Holodomor, and the Cambodian Autogenocide. He saw. He knew. He extrapolated from the Puritan famine and many similar incidents.

      Bastiat reasoned from economic principles, that the complexity of centrally running the economy was impractical, and from the personal character of do gooder, that saints in power would commit mass murder.

      ...and that's the real crux of the problem - Scott is smart enough to realize that all the perspectives that *predicted* that communism would be a disaster *also* predict that his ideology will be a disaster Most progs aren't even aware enough to realize the question

      Yes, Scott is smart enough to see, but seeing requires crimethink, which induces selective stupidity.

          Similarly, Scott believes Global Warming, though he is smart enough to know its a lie aimed at undoing western civilization and murdering seven billion people. Any technology capable of supporting seven billion people, such as nuclear power, being deemed "unsustainable"
