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

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Socialism itself can hope to exist only for brief periods here and there, and then only through the exercise of the extremest terrorism. For this reason it is secretly preparing itself for rule through fear and is driving the word “justice” into the heads of the half-educated masses like a nail so as to rob them of their reason… and to create in them a good conscience for the evil game they are to play.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

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
“A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society.”
Ludwig von Mises

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Someone that you have deprived of everything is no longer in your power. He is once again entirely free.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The First Circle
