"The identification of Nazi Germany as a socialist state was one of the many great contributions of Ludwig von Mises."

“Under communism , there is no incentive to supply people with anything they need or want, including safety.”

“When one remembers that the word "Nazi" was an abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei" — in English translation: the National Socialist German Workers' Party — Mises's identification might not appear all that noteworthy. For what should one expect the economic system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist" in its name to be but socialism?”

“The green movement is the red movement no longer in its boisterous, arrogant youth, but in its demented old age.”

“The combination of price controls with this further set of controls constitutes the de facto socialization of the economic system. For it means that the government then exercises all of the substantive powers of ownership.”

“Like the use of the word 'concupiscence' in an earlier age to describe sexual desire, the use of the word 'pollution' to describe essential aspects of the productive activities of an industrial society represents an attempt to defame an entirely proper human capacity by means of using an evil sounding name for it.”

“What specifically established de facto socialism in Nazi Germany was the introduction of price and wage controls in 1936.”
