The Western democracy of today is the forerunner of Marxism...
Adolf Hitler
The rate of profit ... is always highest in the countries which are going fastest to ruin.
Adam Smith
Most people who think about supply-side economics at all probably imagine that it is simply a strong form of conservative economics... But the story of supply-side economics is much stranger than that. There are many conservative economists... but these academic conservatives are not supply-siders, nor have the supply-siders been drawn from their ranks. Instead, supply-side economics remains a movement of outsiders... they came from the fringes of economics: from journalism, from congressional staff positions, from consulting firms; nowadays most of them are employed by conservative think tanks... to put it another way, the supply-siders are cranks.
Paul Krugman
Our merchants and master-manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price, and thereby lessening the sale of their goods both at home and abroad. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.
Adam Smith
Whenever the legislature attempts to regulate differences between masters and their workmen, its counsellors are always the masters. When the regulation, therefore, is in favor of the workmen, it is always just and equitable; but it is sometimes otherwise when in favor of the masters.
Adam Smith
Why shouldn't the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them.
Edward Albert Filene, founder of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed...
Adam Smith
In a society of an hundred thousand families, there will perhaps be one hundred who don't labour at all, and who yet, either by violence, or by the more orderly oppression of law, employ a greater part of the labour of society than any other ten thousand in it. The division of what remains, too, after this enormous defalcation, is by no means made in proportion to the labour of each individual. On the contrary those who labour most get least. The opulent merchant, who spends a great part of his time in luxury and entertainments, enjoys a much greater proportion of the profits of his traffic, than all the Clerks and Accountants who do the business. These last, again, enjoying a great deal of leisure, and suffering scarce any other hardship besides the confinement of attendance, enjoy a much greater share of the produce, than three times an equal number of artizans, who, under their direction, labour much more severely and assiduously. The artizan again, tho' he works g
Adam Smith
By rejecting the authority of the individual and replacing it by the numbers of some momentary mob, the parliamentary principle of majority rule sins against the basic aristocratic principle of Nature...
Adolf Hitler
Its task is to see that every individual should be able... to perform the maximum of work.
From the Nazi law replacing trade unions with so called "Labour fronts"
The main plank in the Nationalist Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood.
Adolf Hitler
Let us end this war between brothers and unite our forces against the common enemy of atheism.
Pope Pius XII after Hitler's Germany had conquered Poland, obviously referring to communist Russia
Reactionary concepts plus revolutionary emotion result in Fascist mentality.
Wilhelm Reich
The leader of the enterprise makes the decisions for the employees and laborers in all matters concerning the enterprise.
From the Nazi "Charter of Labour"
While Hitler's attitude towards liberalism was one of contempt, towards Marxism he showed an implacable hostility… Ignoring the profound differences between Communism and Social Democracy in practice and the bitter hostility between the rival working class parties, he saw in their common ideology the embodiment of all that he detested -- mass democracy and a leveling egalitarianism as opposed to the authoritarian state and the rule of an elite; equality and friendship among peoples as opposed to racial inequality and the domination of the strong; class solidarity versus national unity; internationalism versus nationalism.
Alan Bullock
There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.
Adolf Hitler
The [Nazi party] should not become a constable of public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses, but their master!
Adolf Hitler
In the economic sphere Communism is analogous to democracy in the political sphere.
Adolf Hitler
Practical men, who belive themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.
John Maynard Keynes
The severest obstacle to the present-day worker's approach to the national community lies not in the defense of his class interests, but in his international leadership and attitude...
Adolf Hitler
I believe the power to make money is a gift of God.
John D. Rockefeller
It cannot be denied that [Pope] Pius XII's closest advisors for some time regarded Hitler's armoured divisions as the right hand of God.
Michael Serafin
On 26 April 1933 Hitler had a conversation with Bishop Berning and Monsignor Steinmann [the Catholic leadership in Germany]. The subject was the common fight against liberalism, Socialism and Bolshevism, discussed in the friendliest terms. In the course of the conversation Hitler said that he was only doing to the Jews what the church had done to them over the past fifteen hundred years. The prelates did not contradict him.
Guenter Lewy, historian
- Är det rätt att bomba Afghanistan och lemlästa barn, kvinnor och andra oskyldiga?
- Ja, det tycker jag. Det är fruktansvärt att säga så, men jag har inte hört någon annan som kan tänka ut ett annat sätt att få stopp på det som har hänt. Hur får man talibanerna att gå med på bombstopp? I alla krig dör civila; det är som om folk glömmer bort det mellan varven, att bomber är något tekniskt.
Mona Sahlin, som uppenbarligen missförstått vem det var som stod för bomberna
Probably nothing has done so much harm to the liberal cause as the wooden insistence of some liberals on certain rough rules of thumb, above all the principle of laissez-faire.
Hayek
Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.
Potter Stewart
