The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others.
Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects — his laziness, incompetence, improvidence or stupidity. Never believe in the honesty or disinterestedness of anyone who disagrees with you.
This basic hatred is the heart of Marxism. This is its animating force. You can throw away the dialectical materialism, the Hegelian framework, the technical jargon, the “scientific” analysis, and millions of pretentious words, and you still have the core: the implacable hatred and envy that are the raison d’etre for all the rest.
— Henry Hazlitt

The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can’t tolerate a libertarian community. —David Boaz
The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe. — H.L. Mencken
How do you fight to be free if you don’t know you’re a slave. —Yeonmi Park – In an interview with Jordan Peterson she said when she fled North Korea she didn’t even know what freedom was, she only wanted to leave because there was no food to eat.
There is a 3300-volt electric fence along the borders of North Korea. Don’t take your freedom and liberties for granted.
