Where did Hayek get that quote? And what is the context?

Hitler said a lot of things. One thing he said (I paraphrase from memory) was that National Socialists and Marxism differ in that the former believes in private property and and the latter does not. True socialists, said Hitler,…

Sucks. Blew the last sentence, which should read "As such, he is a cancer not only on the US but the world as well."

Well go old More War McCain said it. One hundred years in Iraq. Only its is going to be "peace keeping." BS. Peace keeping means military action and that means fighting the people who want the invaders out of their counry.

Hitler's agenda was conservative. Do read the Nazis. For a "socialist" Hitler had good from Germany's capitalists. The Social Democrats, labor leaders, and, of course, Communists had it bad in Nazi Germany. Besides the Jews, Hitler also did in handicapped people (so-called useless eaters), homosexuals, Gypsies, Slavs and others.

The second sentence in the first paragraph should read: " Asking what you would do if a non-nuclear power attacked a nuclear power with nuclear weapons is inane."

This is what comes of not writing for money.
