the backhand of Socialism
The invisible hand is actually more kind than socialism. At least with the free market and liberty the interaction is voluntary on both sides.
With socialism, unions and lobby groups still seek their own self-interests. If they can make those interests into law, then force replaces the freedom to participate.

it is not lack of freedom not to fly like an eagle
The free man is the man who is not in irons, not imprisoned in a gaol, nor terrorized like a slave by the fear of punishment.... it is not a lack of freedom not to fly like an eagle or swim like a whale
Claude Helvetius (1715-1771)
no politician can buy votes
no politicians can buy votes unless the people are first ready to sell them
SG
save then control
Every government that offers to take the consequences for its citizens' individual decisions, eventually and inevitably assumes the right to control their choices too.
