Socialism in all its manifestations is a humanistic assault on reality. Yes it always does harm. The very notion that you can alter reality by imposing the wish lists of egalitarian fantasy seekers on economic activity, is analogous to oiling your car with sand.

You never solve anything by denying causation, and the basic Socialist premise, that the free market unfairly exploits the poor, is an absolute denial of the realities of human nature & constructive patterns of human inter action.

Social Reform: Confusion & "Unintended Consequences"

Here is another excerpt, which will best describe the thrust, and why it should be helpful in the campaign now unfolding:

This may well be America's Now or Never moment. God Willing we will win the day. At issue is a return to an America with self-respect, firmly endowed with an adventuresome & aspiratory spirit, ready to achieve & honor the "exceptional." An America, where we celebrate, rather than disparage, high achievement--whether material, cultural or spiritual;--where men & women are mated allies, not rivals; where each generation seeks to build on an ever richer foundation, rather than tear down monuments from a once honored past. An America, which rejects to its very core the hate driven culture of envy & resentment, which has come to dominate a not at all loyal opposition.
