Mises Daily

Socialism arose as an international working-class movement, but the nationalist has met more success: "Proletarians of all countries, don't come to my country and take my job away from me!"

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires of freedom in people's minds."

In their aggressions against neighbors the Spanish and English established the policies to be applied to alien peoples through conquest or extermination. 

The safety and prosperity of the individual and of the whole depends on the principles of society and civilization, something deeper than any government.

"If recovery is to be maintained and future progress assured, there must be a more or less complete reversal of contemporary tendencies of governmental regulation of enterprise."

Man gives to other men in order to receive from them. Mutuality emerges. Man serves in order to be served.

Roosevelt needed the war and wanted the war, and the war came.

Washington set out to transform a people's army, uniquely suited for a libertarian revolution, into another orthodox and despotically ruled statist force after the familiar European model.

What we really have to combat is all statism, and not just the Communist brand.
