Socialists believe that an economy guided by highly intelligent, fair-minded, rationally-thinking central planners will be more efficient and equitable than the unplanned spontaneous order of the market, which appears chaotic, short-sighted, and cruel to them. I'd say that few if any socialists are so foolish as to think that trial lawyers and government workers create wealth.

Then logically, either they believe that it is impossible to create wealth, or that wealth should not be created. Because they want to make all sectors regulated arms of the government.
All I'm saying is that socialism can be defeated by any number of elementary logical proofs, and anyone who is not convinced by these is unintelligent or willfully ignorant.
