Jag vet naturligtvis inte vad Ayn Rand skulle ha sagt om vänsterpartiet—sannolikt Sveriges mest anti-liberala och därför mest livs- och människofientliga parti—och dess syn på den privata egendomsrätten. Men detta citat ger oss nog ändå en ganska bra hum:
The modern mystics of muscle [t ex marxistiska materalister] who offer you the fraudulent alternative of “human rights” versus “property rights,” as if one could exist without the other, are making a last, grotesque attempt to revive the doctrine of soul versus body. Only a ghost can exist without material property; only a slave can work with no right to the product of his effort. The doctrine that “human rights” are superior to “property rights” simply means that some human beings have the right to make property out of others; since the competent have nothing to gain from the incompetent, it means the right of the incompetent to own their betters and to use them as productive cattle. Whoever regards this as human and right, has no right to the title of “human.” — Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
