“LIBERTARIAN -- In French usage a euphemism for revolutionary anarchist. In American usage--as introduced by some ex-radical champions of the oppressed Sixty Families--an opponent of Social Security, Progressive Taxation, the New Deal, the Welfare State and other forms of slavery threatening the free men of this country.”
― Max Nomad, A Skeptic's Political Dictionary and Handbook for the Disenchanted

“NATIONALISM -- 1. A political creed which proclaims that plunder, conquest, extermination, exploitation and enslavement of one's neighbor are absolute evils -- when resorted to by the neighbor. 2. A foolproof political philosophy based both upon the liberal and humanitarian idea of every people's right to determine its own destiny, and on its very opposite, viz., the predatory, anti-humanitarian "master race" concept of every single ethnic group.”
