The fact that socialism, in every single one of its expressions (“right”, “left”, “no-global”, incoherently pro-market, etc.), is linked to an objective and specific deficiency of intellectual ability, is well known.

Einstein, Socialism and the Relativity of Intelligence Albert-einstein

In fact, socialists are intellectually unable to conceive of something that can be useful to man and that, unlike a hammer or an organization, has not been intentionally designed by someone. In other words, they are intellectually unable to conceive of a spontaneous order. This is the social order brought about by the interplay of human action though not by human design. Some examples of spontaneous order are money, the free market, the Law intended as general and negative rule of individual conduct valid for all in the same way. The fact that language itself is a spontaneous order, and that it cannot be explained in any other way, produces an intellectual crisis in socialists and therefore they are often inclined not to confront it.

The spontaneous order is not the expected result of someone’s decision or plan but instead it is the unintentional, dispersed and long-term result of persons acting for their own individual purposes (which does not necessarily mean egoistic purposes). While pursuing their own ends, in relation to which individuals are the only ones possessing the relevant knowledge (a peripherally dispersed individual knowledge that is also knowledge of time and place), without this being at all in their intention they realize something that is indispensable to their prosperity and to their very existence and that can exist only as a result of a spontaneous and unintentional process of this kind.
