There are more intellectual ways to talk about it but ultimately I think my analogy to to talk about it like getting robbed at gun point is quite precise. The advantage of handing over your wallet when you are getting robbed is not a big mystery.
I totally agree. Living to tell the tale is better than dying. Especially when what is dying is a socialist project supporting millions of people. This is what almost always has happened to socialist projects, it is almost always worse for them to fail, even when they are not doing a great job at building socialism.
