Why the worst people get on top in socialist societies
In 1944, Hayek predicted the types of faults that would infect a centrally-planned nation.
One of his predictions turned out true: the average govt official in socialist governments are generally bad people with very little moral sensitivities

I went with my wife to a doctors visit because she's having thyroid issues, and we are sitting with the nurse assistant who starts asking all types of questions, most routine.
Then she asks the wife if she's ever been exposed to radiation. The wife says no, then the assistant asks her, " have you ever been to Chernobyl?" I kid you not. It was the strangest question I've ever heard asked at a doctors office.

Is this supposed to be a surprise? To be honest, the avg govt official in ANY form of govt tends to be more cut throat and willing to frick you over to get ahead than your avg citizen.
Sociopaths thrive in politics.

I suspect because those who are morally bankrupt will do whatever it takes to ascend to the top. Look at the degenerates who are willing to take advantage of those affected by a disaster in order to make a buck for themselves.

I'm sorry, but every time I see the name "Hayek," I think of these:
