Thursday night C-SPAN 26 (or whichever one it was) aired an interview with Milton Friedman from, IIRC, 1994.

He laughed when he said that the great experiment in socialism had failed, yet the world was more and more turning to socialism. It's because any living thing can't help but attempt to survive and grow and consume, and Western governments have become living things.

It is a new French Disease. According to Girolamo Fracastoro, it started as syphilis [Syphilis sive Morbus Gallicus, 1530]. Must have morphed.
