Work restrictions and the political spectrum

September 2, 2008

Dr. Secretwave reflects on the increasing requests for work notes, and wonders if we as a society are caving in the laziness. Is it a consequence of left-leaning thinking?

The problem with conservative political theory is that it has no good answer for misfortune. Something goes wrong in a truly conservative system, and you’re dead. However, liberal political theory has an Achilles heel as well. In a truly liberal system, there is no answer for laziness. If people don’t want to work but devise a reasonable story about the misfortune in their lives, a socialist system can do nothing but cave in and give them money.
