“It is rarely remembered now that socialism in its beginnings was frankly authoritarian. It began quite openly as a reaction against the liberalism of the French Revolution. The French writers who laid its foundation had no doubt that their ideas could be put into practice only by a strong dictatorial government. The first of modern planners, Saint-Simon, predicted that those who did not obey his proposed planning boards would be 'treated as cattle'.” FirstsIdeasGovernmentWould BeStrongPracticeDoubtModernRevolutionFoundationSaintPlanningReactionsSocialismTreatedRememberedBoardsNo DoubtLiberalismCattleFrench RevolutionPlanners Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
