Collectivism Paradox

“It is a strange paradox of our history that collectivism, which tells us that we are to regard ourselves, in effect, as sacrificial animals, has been generally accepted as a doctrine representing benevolence and love for humankind. it is this collectivist morality that has served as justification for every dictatorship and every atrocity, past or present.”
--Nathaniel Branden

Heart of a Man

“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”
--Immanuel Kant
