Milton Friedman

"Utilitarians, with their devotion
to expediency, almost inevitably oppose any sort of upsetting
or radical change. There have been no utilitarian revolutionaries.
Hence, utilitarians are never immediate abolitionists.
The abolitionist is such because he wishes to eliminate wrong
and injustice as rapidly as possible. In choosing this goal,
there is no room for cool, ad hoc weighing of cost and benefit.
Hence, the classical liberal utilitarians abandoned radicalism
and became mere gradualist reformers. But in becoming
reformers, they also put themselves inevitably into the position
of advisers and efficiency experts to the State. In other
words, they inevitably came to abandon libertarian principle
as well as a principled libertarian strategy. The utilitarians
wound up as apologists for the existing order, for the status
quo, and hence were all too open to the charge by socialists
and progressive corporatists that they were mere narrowminded
and conservative opponents of any and all change.
Thus, starting as radicals and revolutionaries, as the polar
opposites of conservatives, the classical liberals wound up as
the image of the thing they had fought."
