“A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of cyanide, does not ‘choose between two beverages;’ he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two ‘social systems;’ it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an ‘alternative’ to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings!”

– Ludwig Von Mises
