Friedrich Hayek on the qualities needed to succeed in a collectivist system

While we are likely to think that, since the desire for a collectivist system springs from high moral motives, such a system must be a breeding-ground for the highest virtues, there is, in fact, no reason why any system should necessarily enhance those attitudes which serve the purpose for which it was designed.  The ruling moral views will depend partly on the qualities that will lead individuals to success in a collectivist or totalitarian system and partly on the requirements of the totalitarian machinery.
