Sowell says

The strongest argument for socialism is that it sounds good. The strongest argument against socialism is that it doesn't work. But those who live by words will always have a soft spot in their hearts for socialism because it sounds so good.

Sowell says

The political left has never understood that, if you give the government enough power to create "social justice," you have given it enough power to create despotism. Millions of people around the world have paid with their lives for overlooking that simple fact.
