"The slaves of socialism are slaves, but they are no one's property and therefore no one's loss"
- George Reisman
About this Quote
In this quote, George Reisman is highlighting the paradox of socialism. He argues that while socialism claims to liberate the working class from the oppression of capitalism, it ultimately turns them into slaves of the state. Nevertheless, unlike servants in a capitalist system who are owned by their masters, the servants of socialism are not owned by anyone. This implies that their labor and performance can not be made use of for the advantage of a few individuals, but it likewise indicates that they have no individual ownership or control over their own lives. Reisman recommends that this lack of personal property ultimately results in a loss of specific flexibility and autonomy.

"The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it"
