Under socialism, government officials acquire all the advantages of ownership, without any of the responsibilities, since they do not hold title to the property, but merely the right to use it -- at least until the next purge. In either case, the government officials hold the economic, political and legal power of life or death over the citizens.” UseGovernmentPoliticalNextResponsibilityCasesEconomicCitizensAdvantagePropertySocialismTitlesOfficialsAcquireFascismOwnershipLife Or DeathGovernment Officials Author:Ayn Rand
