Well-known
You may be the only person who as actually read "Wealth Of Nations" other than, perhaps, Smith himself 😉 A number of years ago, P.J. O'Rourke hilariously set about to read it and explain it to the reader. It's really funny.
Another fine read I would commend to your attention is "The Road To Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek. He wrote it in the closing hours of WWII as a warning to the obvious winners that if they didn't stop government meddling in their economies (which was seen as a wartime necessity) what the outcomes would be. We now have the benefit of 80 years of rearview mirror and Hayek was spot on. He was brilliant economist. This book does suffer a bit as an academic German speaker being translated into English, but it is well worth the slog.
The collectivists are evil. They always have been. Their interest is power and domination over everyone else. We have the lab experiments of Mao's China, Stalin's Russia, Hilter's Germany, Castro's Cuba and dozens of lesser examples that show - without fail -that collectivism leads to oppression, sooner or later. This seems to not be so clear to our youngsters who've been miseducated at the hands of the pimps of collectivism - the academy.
The mechanisms of control for the collectivists have never changed. It makes no difference whether we're talking about Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung Un, or Western leftists like Trudeau, Obama and Biden. If anything, the modern Western leftists are more dangerous, because they are much more sly and measured in bringing this foul air to the body politic. But they all do the exact same things sooner or later: They attack faith. They attack family. They attack individual freedom and try to con people into sacrificing for the "greater good". This is pimp talk for "yet your ass on the street and bring me my money bitch". They are vile.
One only has to look at what the Biden bunch did this weekend for a really trenchant example. On Easter - the most sacred holiday in the Christian calendar - they decide to pimp the transexual behavioural deviance while simulatneously forbidding children to express religious themes in the White House Easter egg hunt. It was a perfectly planned twofer: Attack faith and family all at once. There is a particularly warm wing in hell waiting for these people.
