If socialism turns a human being into an animal, what is the harm if man has already become worse than an animal?

To reduce man to an animal is to strip away his divine freedom to choose, for it is in the dance of suffering and joy that humanity discovers its highest potential.

— Osho
According to Osho, even if man has sunk below animals, reducing him to an animal (or machine) is harmful because it destroys his uniquely human freedom to choose between good and evil—the same freedom that allows rising above gods. Socialism’s leveling removes risk and choice, shrinking both suffering and joy, and aborting humanity’s highest possibility.

If you turn people into obedient animals or machines, they lose the freedom that could make them truly great.
