The Road to Serfdom
In "The Road to Serfdom" (1944), the Austrian School economist Friedrich Hayek wrote that the dictatorship of the proletariat likely would destroy personal freedom as completely as does an autocracy. The European Commission of Human Rights found pursuing the dictatorship of the proletariat incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights in "Communist Party of Germany v. the Federal Republic of Germany" (1957).
