Notable quotes

“Nature gave all things in common for the use of all; usurpation created private rights. Property hath no rights. The earth is the Lord's, and we are his offspring. The pagans hold earth as property. They do blaspheme God.”
— Ambrose of Milan, in The Cry for Justice (1915), p. 397
“We have passed out of the socialism of the tribal state, and cannot re-enter it again except by a retrogression that would involve anarchy and perhaps barbarism. Our governments, as is already plainly evident, would break down in the attempt.”
— Henry George, Progress and Poverty, "Book VI" (1879). Quoted in Rhoda Hellman, Henry George Reconsidered,
“Cannibalism is actually a sort of dietetic socialism. Here is the ultimate sacrifice. A human life is taken for the purpose of maximizing the ‘public welfare.’”
— Robert LeFevre, The Fundamentals of Liberty, Santa Ana: CA, Rampart Institute (1988) p. 375
“And social justice for entire Indonesians”
— Pancasila, the national philosophy of Indonesia (1945)
“All socialism involves slavery. What is essential to the idea of a slave? We primarily think of him as one who is owned by another. To be more than nominal, however, the ownership must be shown by control of the slave’s actions, a control which is habitually for the benefit of the controller.”
— Herbert Spencer, "The Coming Slavery", The Contemporary Review (April 1884), p. 474. This essay was reprinted in chapter 2 of his book, Man vs. the State (1884)
“A study has found that weaker men are more likely to be in favour of redistributive taxation.”
— Weak men more likely to be socialists, study claims, The Times, May 24 2017, Tom Whipple
