Quote of the week

remained a socialist for several years, even after my rejection of Marxism; and if there could be such a thing as combined with individual liberty, I would be a socialist still. For nothing could be better than living a modest, simple, and free life in an egalitarian society. It took some time before I recognized this as no more than a beautiful dream; that is more important than equality; that the attempt to realize equality endangers freedom; and that, if freedom is lost, there will not even be equality among the unfree.”

– Sir Karl Popper
