The great aim of the struggle for liberty has been equality before the law.

We must shed the illusion that we can deliberately 'create the future of mankind'

Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.

It is one of the most fatal illusions that, by substituting negotiations between states or organized groups for competition for markets or for raw materials, international friction would be reduced. This would merely put a contest of force in the place of what can only metaphorically be called the "struggle" of competition and would transfer to powerful and armed states, subject to no superior law, the rivalries which between individuals had to be decided without recourse to force.

Socialism has never and nowhere been at first a working-class movement. It is by no means an obvious remedy for the obvious evil which the interests of that class will necessarily demand. It is a construction of theorists.

There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal.

[The] impersonal process of the market ... can be neither just nor unjust, because the results are not intended or foreseen.
