Because everything is bound to power and not to morals or law. The latter two are only sometimes and to a varying extent hurdles to the first.
This is true in every social and political climate. Socialism doesn't make it better (actually may make it worse IMO).
That's why I believe that the only correct individual motivator should be to be free and strong. And never rely on the government, banks and other parties that can and will make you dependent. Take on as little debt as you can. Pay as little tax as possible and/or move to countries where this is possible. Possess as big and as diverse investment portfolio as you can. Reside in countries where it's allowed to possess guns and do so. Make friends with like minded individuals. Yes, I am a libertarian.

- loxs 7y agoDidn't say "never use", just "never rely". Have a second plan to the extent practical.
