In spite of the anticapitalistic policies of all governments and of almost all political parties, the capitalist mode of production

The masses favor socialism because they trust the socialist propaganda of the intellectuals. The intellectuals, not the populace, are molding public opinion.

All present-day governments are fanatically committed to an easy money policy.

The whole of mankind's progress has had to be achieved against the resistance and opposition of the state and its power of coercion.

A free press can only exist where there is private control over the means of production

The characteristic feature of a free society is that it can function in spite of the fact that its members disagree in many judgments of value. Freedom really means the freedom to make mistakes.

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. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.
