IMO, that was perhaps the best, maybe the only, insight from hayek's "road to serfdom". He argued that economic laws really are to an extent immutable, that they contain a bit of "essence of nature" about them, like physical laws. They aren't merely social constructions that people have the power to change or wish away.
A politician or party can win elections and take over the country, enact policy, create a national patriotism, etc. by denying them, but in the end the economy won't work any better than a government policy based on denying the law of thermodynamics (or somesuch) would...
