THE ROAD TO SERFDOM

1

War forces "national planning"

To permit total mobilization of your country's economy, you gladly surrender many freedoms. You know regimentation was forced by your country's enemies.

Many want "planning" to stay...

Arguments for a "peace production board" are heard before the war ends. Wartime "planners" who want to stay in power, encourage the idea.

The "Planners" promise Utopias...

A rosy plan for farmers goes well in rural areas, a plan for industrial works is popular in cities - and so on. Many new "planners" are elected to office...

but they can't agree on ONE utopia

With peace, a new legislature meets; but "win the war" unity is gone. The "planners" nearly come to blows. Each has his own pet plan, won't budge.

And citizens can't agree either...

When the "planners" finally patch up a temporary plan months later, citizen in turn disagree. What the farmer likes, the factory worker doesn't like.

"Planners" hate to force agreement...

Most "national planners" are well-meaning idealists, balk at any use of force. They hope for some miralce of public agreement as to their patchwork plan.

They try to "sell" the plan to all...

In an unsuccessful effort to educate people to uniform views, "planners" establish a giant propaganda machine—which coming dictator will find handy.

The gullible do find agreement...

Meanwhile, growing national confusion leads to protest meetings. The least educated—thrilled and convinced by fiery oratory, form a party.

Confidence in "planners" fades...

The more "planners" improvises, the greater the disturbance to normalcy. Everybody suffers. People now feel—rightly—that planners can't get things done.

The "strong man" is given power...

In desperation, "planners" authorize the new party leader to hammer out a plan and force its obedience. Later, they'll despense with him—or so they think.

11

The party takes over the country...

By now, confusion is so great that obedience to the new leader must be obtained at all costs. Maybe you join the party yourself to aid national unity.

12

A negative aim welds party unity...

Early step of all dictators is to inflame the majority in common cause against some scapegoat minority. In Germany, the negative aim was Anti-Semitism.

13

No one opposes the leader's plan...

It would be suicide; new secret police are ruthless. Ability to force obedience always becomes No. 1 virtue in the "planned state." Now all freedom is gone.

Your profession is "planned"...

The wider job choice promised by now defunct "planners" turns out to be a tragic farce. "Planners" never have delivered, never will be able to.

15

Your wages are "planned"...

Divisions of the wage scale must be arbitrary and rigid. Running a "planned state" from central headquarters is clumsy, unfair, inefficient.

Your thinking is "planned"...

In the dictatorship, unintentionally created by the planners, there is no reoom for difference of opinion. Posters, radio, press—all tell you the same lies!

Your recreation is "planned"...

It is no coincidence that sports and amusements have been carefully "planned" in all regimented nations. Once started, "planners" can't stop.

Your disciplining is "planned"...

If you're fired from your job, it's apt to be by a firing squad. What used to be an error has now become a crime against the state. Thus ends the road to serfdom!

NOTE: Compiler of This Little Notebook:

Libertarianism is a principle which supports your rights to life, property, freedom and happiness. Libertarianism means being left along to decide your own fate, instead of being "guided" (forced) by the "state" who decides what's best for you based on his/her own estimates instead of your own estimates of life situations, etc. Libertarianism is the ONLY logical step after collectivistsm such as communism, socialism, fascism, nazism, corpserationism, and governmentalism. There maybe more more systems that are like these collectivisism, update this file and spread it around. We must combat the evils of collectivisms, and encourage the spread of Libertarianism, as it is the only way for all of us to cooperate together the growth of real life, real prosperity, real happiness, real weatlh, for ALL, not just the selected "elite" few who thinks they know what is best for us. Libertarianism is the only way out of the nightmare of collectivisms. Libertarianism is the next logical step for our species, as a human race. Next step is the stars, we can do IT! With real FREEDOM, HAPPINESS, and LIBERTY!

Just google, scroogle, or use any search engine to find the Libertarian websites, plenty are growing in abundance. Soon we'll reduce the governments of our planet and grow our own personal power over our own lives. To be my own boss, that is the greatest freedom I choose for myself. I don't bother you, nor force you, or do anything against your will. You must decide if you want one of the collectivism or freedom to

Page 23: 14473926 Hayek Friedrich the Road to Serfdom

decide your own fate. To be independent, strong and well, that is Libertarianism. No other collectivism do for you. None of them. 1984 by George Orwell was my first introduction to the evils of collectivisms. Then some movies about communisms, socialisms, nazisms, fascisms, and on and on and on. Each worse than the last. None of them I agree with. Libertarian, however, is the greatest principles by which I agree, totally, wholeheartedly, unreservedly, in my soul and bones, and blood, and flesh, and in my mind, perfect. Libertarian is the only way. There is no other way. Because if you want real FREE ENERGY and INVERSE GRAVITY VEHICLES (anti-gravity) devices for us NOW, instead of some mythical "next year, five years time, or ten years, twenty years" line that the media spouts, choose Libertarian, and spread the word.

I choose Libertarian because I have my own personal plans in making my life better. I do not want to force anyone to follow my plans as I do not know what suits them, only they know what suits them. They have their own plans to follow. The point is that with Libertarianism, you follow no one, and no one follow you, just the principle of being free to choose. I want to improve my life, and do my bit to make this world better, by little things, such as recycling, composting, my wastes and keeping my foods clean and growing my crops in soil-enriched-with-ORGANIC-compost/humus-matter-and-rock-dust, so keep the mineral and vitamin content as high as NATURALLY possible. No chemical crap for me. Nor any GM-freaks foods for me. This is my FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I DARE anyone to fight me

Page 24: 14473926 Hayek Friedrich the Road to Serfdom

for my right to CHOOSE! It is my choice. I can neither eat some foods as they disagree with my constitution. But under the collectivism system, they would force me to eat what they "think" is good for me, to the DETRIMENT of my health. This, I would fight, to the death if necessary. I CHOOSE Libertarianism, nothing else. I have no choice. My body changes, and no doctors, nor dentists, no any kind of pharmaceutical idiot, would understands. They only understands their own body's reactions to foods, Natural, or otherwise. They do not have the right to understand my body nor my mind. I only say this once. I CHOOSE Libertarianism.

LIBERTY or Death!The choice is Yours.

There is no MIDDLE ground.
