Not ONLY arrogance, and best for whom?

It wasn't "best" for the citizens of the former USSR that confiscatory economic policies destroyed individual initiative among its citizens. Coercing work from people has never worked throughout history. Oh, you might get some small objective accomplished with slave labor, but "worked" in this context means self sustaining and prospering.
