The intellectuals and socialism (Studies in social theory)

It's an interesting read. The fact that the short piece fails to support why "pure liberty" is superior to collective well-being protects it from a lot of the usual criticism. And it makes a fair point that the reason "socialism" is so dominant in the intellectual world is because it promotes the idea that people can fashion a utopia, whereas libertarianism is more focused on the past.

Unfortunately the paper loses its efficacy due to the fact it claims the facilitators of knowledge dispersement (intellectuals) are either peer pressured into socialism, or are idiots when it comes to Econ but brilliant in some non-related field. It makes sense this was the basis of the alt-right's vitriolic hatred of the liberal elite
