Q: What "illusion" do many socialists fail to see through?
A: "the tragic illusion that by depriving private individuals of the power they possess in an individualist system, and by transfering this power to society, they can thereby extinguish power." (159)
People fail to realize that by taking away distributed power and changed it into "concentrated power", they really endanger themselves because thenit is in the hands of a smaller group of people, namely the government, who may or may not use said power for the aims that the people wish for (159).
