I think that the failure to punish lawbreakers is an outgrowth of the primary feature of the Socialist Movement; the underlying assumption that no one can be held to be responsible, that we are all (well, almost all) a bunch of witless children to be directed through our lives by the enlightened. These enlightened are, of course, our social betters and have the very best intentions for our futures and who will watch over us to ensure that we are made uniformly happy and productive.

But don’t ever question them. Some pigs really are more equal than others.
