This Monologue of the Tramp from Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” is the best description of what socialism, in practice, does to a person’s soul, that I’ve ever come across.
Viktor Frankl touches on this in, “A Man’s Search for Meaning”.
In an abstract manner this same phenomenon is explained in Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief” and again in Richard Dawkins, “The Selfish Gene”

My 2 cents is, it’s extremely rare to encounter “bad” people only bad incentives and bad environments/systems. Rand does a great job of not telling, but “showing” how this phenomenon can play out in a ‘real’ world context.
This is why Bitcoin. Bitcoin aligns human nature with the greater good by creating a level playing field, fixed rules, and extending time preferences from days/weeks/months to 4 year cycles/decades/generations and beyond.
