“The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. Not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.” MenFeelsMayLongFeelingsOrderSocialNaturalFreedomCryConflictMachinesOvercomingInstitutionsRingsGenuineCeaseDiverseOrganismsCaptivesSuppressionSocial OrderRigidityNatural Feelings Author:Wilhelm Reich

Here the believer in freedom cannot but conflict with the conservative and take an essentially radical position, directed against popular prejudices, entrenched positions, and firmly established privileges. Follies and abuses are no better for having long been established principles of folly.” LongMatterCoursesPartyPrinciplesPolicyPositionSourcePrideConflictAbusePrejudiceInstitutionsPrivilegeConservativeBelieverAcceptedRadicalFollyCreedsConservative Party Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man.

“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks,and institutions.
