“Nation and race do not coincide; there is no nation of pure blood. All peoples have arisen from a mixture of races….

“[T]he concept of race, in the sense in which the advocates of race policy use it, is new, even considerably newer than that of nation. It was introduced into politics in deliberate opposition to the concept of nation. The individualistic idea of the national community was to be displaced by the collectivist idea of the racial community.”

–Ludwig von Mises, Nation, State, and Economy, 1919
