F.A. Hayek predicted this decades ago on Firing Line with William Buckley- social justice

The classical demand is that the state ought to treat all people equally in spite of the fact that they are very unequal. You can’t deduce from this that because people are unequal you ought to treat them unequally in order to make them equal. And that’s what social justice amounts to. It’s a demand that the state should treat people differently in order to place them in the same position. . . .To make people equal a goal of governmental policy would force government to treat people very unequally indeed.

14 min vid of his discussion with Bill Buckley Jr on firing line way long ago
Herr Hayek was very soft spoken and had a thick accent, but you can still understand.

Thanks for both links and the money quote.
Hillsdale Is probably only school who’d hire Hayek today.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe is still professor emeritus at UNLV and he makes Hayek look like a flaming communist.

For awhile it hasn't been about what we have been lectured to for so long - equality within a free society.
Since the '60s it's been about attaining that elusive, idealistic, marxian concept of "universal egalitarianism."
Orwell addressed how it can be used to the
advantage of those who are stewards of the system.
But it was Buckley's co-founder, Ralph de Toledano, who provided an in-depth look at what laid the dubious foundation for just about all of the leftist dysfunction seen now across the West in his book Cry Havoc!.
As could've been predicted, it was presented to a populace that just wasn't interested.
Now actual survival of the Republic demands that they at least feign interest, just as a first step.
