excerpt
To many who have watched the transition from socialism to
fascism at close quarters the connection between the two systems
has become increasingly obvious, but in the democracies the
majority of people still believe that socialism and freedom can be
combined. They do not realize that democratic socialism, the
great utopia of the last few generations, is not only unachievable,
but that to strive for it produces something utterly different – the
very destruction of freedom itself. As has been aptly said: ‘What
has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that
man has tried to make it his heaven.’
