“If a man speculates on what 'society' should do for the poor, he accepts thereby the collectivist premise that men's lives belong to society and that he, as a member of society, has the right to dispose of them...that psychological confession reveals the enormity of the extent to which altruism erodes men's capacity to grasp the concept of rights or the value of an individual life.” IfsMenShouldValuesIndividualPoorAcceptingRightsMembersConceptsCapacityPsychologicalConfessionAltruismPremisesErodeIndividual Life Author:Ayn Rand
