I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the alternatives that have been tried have historically been either failures or catastrophes.

So much to be said about that trope... Are there seriously people who still believe in TINA? What a bleak way to see the world.

I'm curious about what alternative you have in mind if you think that living in an open and free society is bleak.

But I don't think that the current society is open and free. It is open-er and freer than what it replaced. It is also open-er and freer than some proposed alternatives. It is not the best, most open, and most free society that could ever be conceived.

I don't like political arguments on hn but if you're truly interested I can try to summarise them when I get home later.
