Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere

Socialism has never been about 'freedom'. Socialism can only triumph when and where the mind is corrupted and damaged via indoctrination. Indoctrination is the opposite of a free mind.

Although our modern socialists' promise of greater freedom is genuine and sincere- F A Hayek,

The Road to Serfdom (Reader's Digest Condensed Version)

Socialism has never been about 'freedom'. Socialism can only triumph when and where the mind is corrupted and damaged via indoctrination. Indoctrination is the opposite of a free mind.
My daughter’s belief in AGW is genuine and sincere, too - and utterly ill-founded.
The rest of the quote from which you pulled that - say nothing of the book as a whole - is a polemic against socialism. I commend the link to you, if you have never read Serfdom. It is, as you likely may know, a classic written during WWII by an Austrian emigre in England.
