"Ini adalah teka-teki nyata mengapa orang begitu menentang kapitalisme pasar bebas nyata bahkan sekarang. Di sinilah kita, pada abad yang telah melihat Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot - dan kita masih diperingatkan tentang 'perampok perampok' abad ke-19. Saya tidak tahu bahwa Jay Gould atau John D. Rockefeller pernah membunuh siapa pun. Negara telah membunuh banyak orang, namun kita harus selalu waspada terhadap 'penjahat serakah' di masa lalu."

--- Joseph Sobran

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It's a real enigma why people are so averse to real free market capitalism even now. Here we are, in the century that has seen Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot-and we're still being warned against the 'robber barons' of the 19th century. I don't know that Jay Gould or John D. Rockefeller ever killed anyone. The State has killed countless people, and yet we're always supposed to remain on guard against these 'greedy villains' of yesteryear.
