@HoppeQuotes
Unofficial account dedicated to the greatest contemporary Austrian school economist and libertarian/anarcho-capitalist philosopher
The State: “an institution run by gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots—an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches” The Great Fiction
"The overwhelming majority of the public...falls for this nonsense. Politicians are not despised and ridiculed but ...glorified by the masses" Even those opposing one politician do so only in service of their own, who is "equally absurd and confused" - Hans-Hermann Hoppe
"The end of World War I can be identified as the point in time at which private government ownership was completely replaced by public government ownership" mises.org/online-book/gr…
"Property, Freedom and Society" | Hans-Hermann Hoppe (13y ago) An oldie but goldie from the Godfather of Libertarianism youtu.be/lsQo0dhfTaw
"Whatever other criteria may be used for inclusion or exclusion, in a libertarian world, for instance, no private community owner would want to tolerate – and not discriminate against – communist or socialist activists on his property" mises.org/library/logica…
"Keynes's new economics is nothing but a tissue of logical falsehoods reached by means of obscure jargon, shifting definitions, and logical inconsistencies intended to establish a statist, anti-free market economic system" mises.org/mises-daily/mi…
"Under forced integration, any mistake can be blamed on a “foreign” group or culture and all success claimed as one’s own; hence, there is little or no reason for any culture to learn from another" mises.org/online-book/gr…
"Establishing a competitive system of security producers implies erecting an institutionalized incentive structure to produce an order of law and law-enforcement that embodies the highest possible degree of consensus regarding the question of conflict resolution"
"Any socialist ethic is a complete failure. Only the institution of private property, which also assures the greatest possible production of wealth, can be argumentatively justified, because it is the very precondition of argumentation" mises.org/library/justic…
The Decivilizing Effects Of Democracy & Anti-State Counterculture Hans-Hermann Hoppe
"If one can only appeal to the State for justice, justice will be perverted in the favor of the State; constitutions and supreme courts notwithstanding." Hans-Hermann Hoppe
"If liberalism is to have any future, it must repair its fundamental error. Liberals will have to recognize that no government can be contractually justified, that every government is destructive of what they want to preserve"
"The attitude toward economics that Positivism fuels is that of a relativist social engineer whose motto is “nothing can be known with certainty to be impossible within the realm of social phenomena and there is nothing that one might not want to try out on one’s fellow men""
"While there exists a motive, a purpose for actors wanting to own media of exchange, no motive, purpose or need can be discovered for wanting to possess a measure of value" mises.org/library/how-fi…
"If the government paper money monopoly should ever disappear, gold and silver would most likely recover their former roles as money" mises.org.br/artigos/1160/h…
If I may introduce one of the most anti-establishment Libertarians to walk the earth. Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
H.H.H. so to speak
Who's your favorite thinker associated with the Austrian school?
"Secession increases ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural diversity, while in the course of centuries of centralization hundreds of distinct cultures were stamped out" mises.org/mises-wire/nat…
