They proclaim the priority of what they call eternal absolute values and feign in their declamations—not in their personal conduct—a disdain of things secular and transitory.

The only way for a leader to succeed is to instill in people the conviction that his program best serves the attainment of this goal.

    Ludwig Von Mises (1963). “Human action: a treatise on economics”

  • What I say is, that the real non-resistants can believe in direct action only, never in political action. For the basis of all political action is coercion; even when the State does good things, it finally rests on a club, a gun, or a prison, for its power to carry them through.
