 â€œCapitalism has not always existed in the world, and it will not always exist in the world,” explains Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, poster child for the “democratic socialism” now surging in the Democratic Party. By all indications, the upstart politician and establishment media remain ignorant of the major critic of socialism in modern times.

Friedrich A. Hayek, 1899-1992, is the author of The Road to Serfdom, first published in 1944 when the Allies were doing battle with Adolph Hitler’s National Socialist regime, which from 1939-1941 was allied with Josef Stalin’s Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Hayek left his native Austria before World War II but he was well aware of the socialist dynamics in Germany.

The socialist policy of Germany, “was generally held up by progressives as an example to be imitated.” And “few are ready to recognize that the rise of fascism and Nazism was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding period but a necessary outcome of those tendencies.” For further study, consult Hayek’s chapter on “The Socialist Roots of Nazism.”
