“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.

These must lead it to victory.”
― Ludwig von Mises

― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
― Ronald Reagan
