Progressivism/socialism start with inhuman principles.

I mean the title of this post in the sense both that progressivism/socialism ignores human nature and that it pretends people aren’t human.  Consider:

DavidAsmanfox: Price controls ALWAYS lead to shortages. Businesses won’t produce at a loss…so they just stop producing. That leads to shortages and long lines like they have in Venezuela and the old Soviet Union. Then the government takes over, and we have full-blown socialism.

The underlying assumption appears to be that producers will simply produce because they are producers.  Human beings don’t fall into nice progressive categories.  We make decisions and change our status, and it can be in directions that produce better outcomes for everybody or that don’t.
