The Position of the Individual under Socialism

11/13/2026 Ludwig von Mises

Everyone has a place, holds it until moved, rises only by promotion and sinks only by degradation—which is why socialists themselves speak of the army of labor. Mises takes up the selection of personnel and the choice of occupation, and turns Bebel’s own vision of life under socialism against him.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
