Excerpt from Socialism, by Ludwig von Mises

Mises Institute free book ^ | 1932 | Ludwig von Mises

[Moltke]

Small correction: The German original was first published in 1922, not 1932.

I agree. Those on the dole should not be allowed to vote for those who give them the “free” phones and other crap that are appropriated unto themselves from the “collective” others who are forced to work for and pay for it, which is nothing more than “legalized” theft.

Another book I recommend as a must read is Bastiat’s The Law.

The Frankfurters dominated everything. If it sounded ‘scientific’, like anthropology (see Boaz/Meade) or like psychoanalysis (see Freud/Jung) or perverted pedophile pederast homosexuals (see Kinsey) it found a home. WTF were we thinking. (All Jews, by the way,)

[Defiant]

When they oppose Socialism they do so with the sense that they are defending selfish private interests and that they are combating a development which from the standpoint of public welfare is desirable and is based upon the only ethically acceptable principle. And in their hearts they are convinced that their resistance is hopeless.

What a great description of the Republican party.

[P.O.E.]

Hayek called it the “Fatal Conceit”.
