It was nearly 30 years ago so I don't remember unfortunately.
It was structural so it would have been about incentives for adding to rather than taking from society. He's a chemist so he thinks about driving forces. It was a real sleeper of a red pill.
This is the thought process it led to.
Dependency and lack of autonomy are incentivised in a socialist society and excellence of service is actively disincentivised.
There is no choice of system to apply to either so no driving force to improve services by competition.
There is no competition for governance since you aren't supposed to vote with your feet to leave the system. You get the worst possible governance and enforcement - like the Stasi or the KGB
What you get is inevitably the worst service possible. Think of East German Trabants and apartment blocks and repression of the people.
Politics attracts the most power hungry people and there is no recourse or accountability to the public in Socialism / Communism. You get the worst leaders that the population can provide. If true globalism were to happen, you would end up with the worst leaders in the world and no competing system to keep them in check, since communism cannot allow a competing system.
out of curiosity, what did he say? i could do with some pointers to stump socialist sympathisers
