The socialist mentality naturally assesses itself morally superior to its opponents. This egoistic fallacy justifies immoral actions for noble purposes. The ends justify the means. Corruption is a byword for capitalism that can never apply to those who suffer to make society more equal. When presented with an opportunity to gain political advantage in the name of social justice...
The Liberal Democrats called for a National Audit Office investigation into the spending patterns amid accusations that public money was being used as a political tool.
Critics said that there should have been greater equity in the proportional increases over the last decade, which has seen more than £383 billion being spent on the schools system.
The disclosure comes just weeks after it emerged that, over the last decade, £30 billion had been collected from taxpayers in the suburbs to fund urban regeneration schemes.
But they had failed to make any difference to the deprived areas.
Lucky for us that such endeavours will always worsen the symptoms rather than provide any cure. Labour did not actually think beyond its normal calculation of spending money (in its own areas) to resolve problems. They just provided lots of shiny new schools for kids to vandalise. It is noteworthy that none of the authorities with the largest increases were in London: an area where immigration and linguistic challenges might actually demand such expenditure.
The socialist mentality will not dwell on this failure. Problems of culture or backwardness will prevent the attainment of social justice and further money is needed to alleviate the symptoms. Trapped in a regressive loop, the failures will always be seen as a triumph of socialism, since the ideology is impervious to empirical evidence. Thus, they hasten their own demise.
