The inevitable scarcity of the factors of production, the uncertainty of future conditions for which production has to provide, and the necessity of picking out from the bewildering multitude of technological methods suitable for the attainment of ends already chosen those which obstruct as little as possible the attainment of other ends — i.e., those with which the cost of production is lowest. No allusion to these matters can be found in the writings of Marx and Engels. All that Lenin learned about business from the tales of his comrades who occasionally sat in business offices was that it required a lot of scribbling, recording, and ciphering.

The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
An elective despotism was not the government we fought for.

Sotien jälkeisenä aikana se, mitä Suomessa saa sanoa, on ollut hyvin tarkkaan säädeltyä. Yhteiskunnallisesta keskustelusta on tullut salatiedettä, johon vain asiaan vihkiytyneiden sopii osallistua.

Yet they never doubted that there must be a state, and that the state must be democratic.
- — Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Every actual state is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
- — Ralph Waldo Emerson
A society that puts equality [...] ahead of freedom will end up with neither.
- — Milton Friedman
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Most of these amazing intrusions into personal liberty have occurred over the past 90 years, since the introduction of the income tax. They have been accepted by a population helpless to challenge the endless expansions of State power – and yet, even though most citizens have received endless pro-State propaganda in government schools, a growing rebellion is brewing. State predations are now so intrusive that they have effectively arrested the forward momentum of society, which now hangs before a fall.
