Peter Drucker

Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion, and it has proved as much an illusion in Russia as in pre-​Hitler Germany.

Peter Drucker, The End of Economic Man: The Study of the New Totalitarians (1939), pp. 245 – 246.

In The Road to Serfdom, Hayek quoted Drucker, with attribution. Somehow, that Hayek was quoting Drucker got overlooked by some third person, and still later persons mistook that third person for a reliable source; so that, now-​a-​days, one often finds the quotation misattributed to Hayek.
