Ludwig von Mises
“These self-styled liberals and progressives are honestly convinced that they are true democrats. But their notion of democracy is just the opposite of that of the nineteenth century. They confuse democracy with socialism. They not only do not see that socialism and democracy are incompatible but they believe that socialism alone means real democracy. Entangled in this error, they consider the Soviet system a variety of popular government.”
Ludwig von Mises, Omnipotent Government

Ludwig von Mises
“Rhetorical bombast, music and song resound, banners wave, flowers and colors serve as symbols, and the leaders seek to attach their followers to their own person. Liberalism has nothing to do with all this. It has no party flower and no party color, no party song and no party idols, no symbols and no slogans. It has the substance and the arguments. These must lead it to victory.”
Ludwig von Mises

Friedrich A. Hayek
“Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.”
Friedrich von Hayek

Panait Istrati
“(on visiting the USSR after Stalin regime installed)
All right, I can see the broken eggs. Now where's this omelette of yours?”
Panait Istrati

Ludwig von Mises
“Every step which leads from capitalism toward planning is necessarily a step nearer to absolutism and dictatorship.”
Ludwig von Mises, Omnipotent Government
