The Road To Serfdom - Hayek-Friedrich
The Road To Serfdom - Hayek-Friedrich
War forces "national planning" To permit total mobilization of your country's economy, you gladly surrender many freedoms. You know regimentation was forced by your country's enemies.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 2
Many want "planning" to stay... Arguments for a "peace production board" are heard before the war ends. Wartime "planners" who want to stay in power, encourage the idea.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 4
but they can't agree on ONE utopia With peace, a new legislature meets; but "win the war" unity is gone. The "planners" nearly come to blows. Each has his own pet plan, won't budge.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 6
"Planners" hate to force agreement... Most "national planners" are well-meaning idealists, balk at any use of force. They hope for some miralce of public agreement as to their patchwork plan.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 8
The gullible do find agreement... Meanwhile, growing national confusion leads to protest meetings. The least educatedthrilled and convinced by fiery oratory, form a party.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 10
The "strong man" is given power... In desperation, "planners" authorize the new party leader to hammer out a plan and force its obedience. Later, they'll despense with himor so they think.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 12
A negative aim welds party unity... Early step of all dictators is to inflame the majority in common cause against some scapegoat minority. In Germany, the negative aim was Anti-Semitism.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 14
Your profession is "planned"... The wider job choice promised by now defunct "planners" turns out to be a tragic farce. "Planners" never have delivered, never will be able to.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK
16
Your thinking is "planned"... In the dictatorship, unintentionally created by the planners, there is no reoom for difference of opinion. Posters, radio, press all tell you the same lies!
Your recreation is "planned"... It is no coincidence that sports and amusements have been carefully "planned" in all regimented nations. Once started, "planners" can't stop.
FRIEDRICK HAYEK 18
Your disciplining is "planned"... If you're fired from your job, it's apt to be by a firing squad. What used to be an error has now become a crime against the state. Thus ends the road to serfdom!

decide your own fate. To be independent, strong and well, that is Libertarianism. No other collectivism do for you. None of them. 1984 by George Orwell was my first introduction to the evils of collectivisms. Then some movies about communisms, socialisms, nazisms, fascisms, and on and on and on. Each worse than the last. None of them I agree with. Libertarian, however, is the greatest principles by which I agree, totally, wholeheartedly, unreservedly, in my soul and bones, and blood, and flesh, and in my mind, perfect. Libertarian is the only way. There is no other way. Because if you want real FREE ENERGY and INVERSE GRAVITY VEHICLES (antigravity) devices for us NOW, instead of some mythical "next year, five years time, or ten years, twenty years" line that the media spouts, choose Libertarian, and spread the word. I choose Libertarian because I have my own personal plans in making my life better. I do not want to force anyone to follow my plans as I do not know what suits them, only they know what suits them. They have their own plans to follow. The point is that with Libertarianism, you follow no one, and no one follow you, just the principle of being free to choose. I want to improve my life, and do my bit to make this world better, by little things, such as recycling, composting, my wastes and keeping my foods clean and growing my crops in soil-enriched-with-ORGANICcompost/humus-matter-and-rock-dust, so keep the mineral and vitamin content as high as NATURALLY possible. No chemical crap for me. Nor any GM-freaks foods for me. This is my FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I DARE anyone to fight me
for my right to CHOOSE! It is my choice. I can neither eat some foods as they disagree with my constitution. But under the collectivism system, they would force me to eat what they "think" is good for me, to the DETRIMENT of my health. This, I would fight, to the death if necessary. I CHOOSE Libertarianism, nothing else. I have no choice. My body changes, and no doctors, nor dentists, no any kind of pharmaceutical idiot, would understands. They only understands their own body's reactions to foods, Natural, or otherwise. They do not have the right to understand my body nor my mind. I only say this once. I CHOOSE Libertarianism.
LIBERTY or Death! The choice is Yours. There is no MIDDLE ground. defman, 2009
