Hayek Proved That Collectivism Cannot Provide Security

Freedom in the free-market is security, or self-reliance, in America. But, again, why not have, as collectivists demand, the security of employment, housing, or similar important needs in life? These are certainly important needs in life, and the collectivist governance always promotes the guarantee of these needs. They lay out a plan so that these needs are
secured for the citizenry by the collective governance.
Because it is
impossible to secure these needs without destroying liberty.
Economist Friedrich Hayek provides insight into both of these failures:
[T]he more we try to provide security by interfering with the market system, the greater the insecurity becomes; and , what is worse, the greater becomes the contrast between security of those to whom it is granted as a privilege and the ever increasing insecurity of the underprivileged. And the more security becomes a privilege.[1]
