"The state is, by its very nature and essence, a social institution imposed by a victorious group of people on a defeated group of people for the sole purpose of regulating the rule of the former over the latter and securing it against internal uprisings and external attacks.

"The ideas of the ruling class are the ruling ideas in every epoch, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has at its disposal the means of material production has at the same time at its disposal the means of intellectual production, so that, on average, the thoughts of those who lack the means of intellectual production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the ruling material conditions, the ruling material conditions conceived as ideas; that is, the conditions that make one class the ruling class, the ideas of its rule."

Marx/Engels

"We hear statements such as “This is a free country” or “This is a dictatorship where there is no freedom.” However, these are vague assertions in which the meaning of freedom is not real. One person may feel very free in a totalitarian regime, while another living in a democracy may feel the chains of slavery on their shoulders, weighing down every step they take. The chains of slavery only bind our hands: it is the spirit that makes a person free or a slave."

Franz Grillparzer

Augustinus von Hippo

"A free people must not only be armed and disciplined. They should also be sufficiently equipped with weapons and ammunition to defend their independence at any time against anyone who attempts to abuse them. This includes, in particular, their own government."

George Washington

"There is no way to prevent the final collapse of a boom generated by credit expansion. The only alternative is either an earlier crisis resulting from the voluntary termination of credit expansion, or a later, final, and total catastrophe for the currency system involved."

Ludwig von Mises
