The accelerating regression to the norm.

The greatest minds such as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Montesquieu and Jefferson understood that man is evil and corrupt. Nowhere in history have we seen this Utopia that the socialist promote. Instead, Sparta and Athens destroyed each other through war, Alexander the Great and later the Romans enslaved and parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, European Kings and religious wars plagued Europe, the British Empire controlled much of the world and socialist have wrought death and misery on the USSR, Nazi Germany and Mao's China to today's North Korea.

The average moron on the street throughout history and today do not vote or promote fairness and virtue but instead steal and enslave one another for their own profit. All one need do is listen to barry or any of his hateful, malicious and envious followers and one instinctively knows that they are evil.

American Exceptionalism lasted in few places and for perhaps a century-and-a-half as Mises and Hayek discuss as classical liberalism. The bad news is that misery and poverty can prevail simply by the fundamental transformation of the liberty and prosperity to the historical norm of tyranny and slavery.
