The Polluting State

This is a first hand account of the horror story of the public sector electricity-generation plant in New Delhi. It parallels 'Atlas Shrugged' in every way.

"Alas the aforesaid is not the worst, as a socialist system is never honest and cannot be, and generates an immoral and characterless society. All you have to do is to imagine how all these players were adjusting, and accommodating to the system, relying on earning benefits not from their productive work (even if they did produce), but from their positions, using any creativity they had to bend the system or to exploit it, losing confidence in their abilities and developing servile and dependent minds. When you have accepted being corrupt (as socialism asks for—forcibly take away from someone to give to someone else), you can very easily transfer that logic to apply to your family and then to yourself. The character issue is the area where the worst of socialism lies. It has impoverished the souls."
