“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism,” according to Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s new socialist mayor.
“Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to ‘society,’ to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force — and statism has always been the poltical corollary of collectivism.”
— Ayn Rand
“The barbarians are not at the gates, they are inside the gates, and have academic tenure, judicial appointments, government grants, and control of the movies, TV and other media.”
— Thomas Sowell
