Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of emergency. It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And emergency became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains. ✨ Herbert Hoover (1952). Memoirs: The great depression, 1929-1941
