Interesting parable by Frédéric Bastiat.

Right, there are so many assumptions made by the central planning model that are obviously incorrect.

Future potentials are mostly unseen, at least to observers. Interventions in the free agency of individuals have both a negative effect directly as well as impossible-to-measure downstream consequences.

When and if we have individual liberties this allow us to focus all our attention on being productive; we can plan ahead knowing that our property and the fruits of our labor is safe 5 or 10 years from now.

If we are robbed of our liberties and thereby our future, or if coming generations are robbed of their future, our focus will inevitably be spent on fight or flight; to regain freedoms.
