“Just as Nazi Germany’s crimes could not have been committed without the technology IBM provided to track, round-up and murder Jews, Romani people and the disabled, Israel’s apartheid and genocide of the Palestinians would not be possible without Microsoft.”

@aral Historians and regular guys use the term capitalism as a historical "ideal type" to understand current historical events. When they want to show that they don't like something, they use "capitalism." They don't like rising prices: blame capitalism. They don't like war: blame capitalism... They think that capitalism, capitalism as they understand it, is the source of all evil. But they just confuse capitalism with statism. Mises wrote: Whoever wishes peace among peoples must fight statism.
