Anarchism misunderstands the real nature of man. It would be practicable only in a world of angels and saints

A short time ago the demagogues blamed capitalism for the poverty of the masses. Today they rather blame capitalism for the "affluence" that it bestows upon the common man.

The governments alone are responsible for the spread of the superstitious awe with which the common man looks upon every bit of paper upon which the treasury or agencies which it controls have printed the magical words legal tender.

Capitalism and socialism are two distinct patterns of social organization. Private control of the means of production and public control are contradictory notions and not merely contrary notions. There is no such thing as a mixed economy, a system that would stand midway between capitalism and socialism.

We must fight all that we dislike in public life. We must substitute better ideas for wrong ideas.

Lenin's ideal was to build a nation's production effort according to the model of the post office.

A country becomes more prosperous in proportion to the rise in the invested capital unit per unit of its population.
