From 1884:
“Time is a great logician, and succeeding generations will either press steadily on to the system that is the perfection of force, Socialism, or to the perfection of liberty, complete Individualism. If men believe that they may rightly use force to gain any of their objects, they will claim in their supposed interest to use it for all their objects; if force is not a right weapon, they will altogether abandon it.”
Especially powerful in hindsight as one generation later saw international socialism (a.k.a. communism) and national socialism (a.k.a. fascism and nazism) rise to world prominence, as the logic of nineteenth-century theory was translated into twentieth-century practice.
