I’ve read everything Heinlein ever wrote and I was shocked when I found out he’d once been a socialist. I wasn't. His understanding of freedom comes from having once believed in the other side's values and then thought about that belief system. Someone who has never been a socialist would not have as deep an understanding of its flaws as a convert.
