In opposition to socialism, the case for freedom is often made in material accomplishments: medicines, access to food, disposable income. But the contemporary socialist isn't selling cars. Socialism is a faith, and with it a morality.https://medium.com/@micsolana/conquering-cerberus-a6d760c7ad9a …

'Colonize Laniakea with quintillions of free, happy people' should be a more inspiring slogan than 'Raise the minimum wage a little bit'

I wonder if actually parables are the most effective way to teach lessons of morality. They are often short, and the plot twist shocks people into a new mental frame before they can put up their mental shield. Do you know if American authors wrote parables during the soviet era?

You’re right that the problem is a moral one and that the conclusion is freedom, but your reasoning is imprecise. Individual liberty is the logical consequence of the foundation ethic “one ought to follow reason”:https://reasonandliberty.com/articles/moral_mathematics …

Try it yourself: can you even begin to make an argument against “one ought to follow reason” without invoking reason? I hold its impossible, its “self justified”. Now ruthlessly eradicate contradictions in your thinking, from that axiomatic principle, and you conclude liberty.
