Do not consider Collectivists as "sincere but deluded idealists". The proposal to enslave some men for the sake of others is not an ideal; brutality is not "idealistic, " no matter what its purpose. Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.Ayn Rand
About This Quote
Collectivists are the worst kind of people. They are people who want to take away your liberty in order to make everyone equal. They are the worst kind of people because they are the ones who don't value liberty. These are the same people who are trying to make you believe that liberty is bad and that is why they want to take away your freedoms.
Don't ever let them convince you that this is what they want or need to do in order to do good by force. They are power-hungry, power-hungry people who think that they can control you by taking away your rights. They want to enslave you so that you feel worse than them and so that they can feel better than you.
