As he usually does, Jonah Goldberg makes several worthy points in his most recent breezy G-File column, including some thoughts on socialism:
… "socialism" was an answer to what 19th-century intellectuals and religious leaders called "the social question." As traditional societies succumbed to the creative destruction of the market, people started asking, "How shall we live now?" Socialism was one such answer (National Socialism, another, very similar answer), but it was only partly and not even mostly, an economic answer. It was a cultural one.
