Collectivism Quotes - Page 3

• [What Hayek] does not see, or will not admit, [is] that a return to "free" competition means for the great mass of people a tyranny probably worse, because more irresponsible, than that of the State. The trouble with competitions is that somebody wins them. Professor Hayek denies that free capitalism necessarily leads to monopoly, but in practice that is where it has led, and since the vast majority of people would far rather have State regimentation than slumps and unemployment, the drift towards collectivism is bound to continue if popular opinion has any say in the matter.

• The core of racism is the notion that the individual is meaningless and that membership in the collective - the race - is the source of his identity and value. ... The notion of 'diversity' entails exactly the same premises as racism - that one's ideas are determined by one's race and that the source of an individual's identity is his ethnic heritage.

• Considering mankind's indifference to freedom, their easy gullibility and their facile response to conditioning, one might very plausibly argue that collectivism is the political mode best suited to their disposition and their capacities. Under its regime, the citizen, like the soldier, is relieved of the burden of initiative and is divested of all responsibility, save for doing as he is told.

• Social justice is collectivism. Social justice is the rights of a group. It denies individual responsibility. It's a negation of individual responsibility, so social justice is totally contrary to the Word of God.

• I am not an individualist in the Western sense. Collectivism can become oppressive when it tries to dictate; the rights of the two should not clash.

• El psicologismo es, creo, correcto sólo en la medida en que insiste en lo que podría llamarse "individualismo metodológico" en contraposición al "colectivismo metodológico"; insiste con razón en que el "comportamiento" y las "acciones" de colectivos, como los estados o los grupos sociales, deben reducirse al comportamiento y a las acciones de los individuos humanos. Pero la creencia de que la elección de tal método individualista implica la elección de un método psicológico es errónea.

• Mira, este debate es básico: es gobierno pequeño contra gobierno grande. ¿Qué tan cobardes tienen que ser tipos como Blood y Frank Rich para no ser capaces de defender su amor por el colectivismo? La única razón por la que gritan "raza" es porque ese debate les asusta. Saben que una acusación racial impide el diálogo, porque una acusación tan dañina supera con creces cualquier beneficio de ganar una discusión.

• ... statism systematically violates the rights of individuals and is, therefore, immoral. Because it suppresses the mind and violates men's rights, it thereby causes abysmal poverty and is utterly impractical.

• Psychologist Nathaniel Branden speaks of a benevolent sense of life possible to those with rational, productive values, vividly contrasted with the coercive parasitic group-culture of mystics and altruists we live in, where people all around you seem a burdensome annoyance, a threat to your survival. Having been told from childhood that life is a zero-sum game in which you owe everything to others, at some level you worry all the time that someday the bastards will collect. And collect they do, every April 15th. Why do you think they call it collectivism?

• La lucha fundamental hoy no es entre individualismo y colectivismo, libre empresa y socialismo, democracia y dictadura. Éstas son sólo las manifestaciones superficiales de una lucha más profunda que es moral y espiritual y que implica por encima de todo si el hombre debe existir para el Estado, o el Estado para el hombre, y si la libertad es del espíritu o una concesión de una sociedad materializada.

• Altruism demands that an individual serve others, but doesn’t stipulate whether those others should be one’s family, or the homeless, or society as a whole. Collectivism states that, in politics, society comes first and the individual must obey. Collectivism is the application of the altruist ethics to politics.

• Es un tópico que la estructura de una sociedad viene determinada básicamente por su tecnología. No en un sentido absoluto -puede haber culturas totalmente diferentes que utilicen herramientas idénticas-, pero las herramientas determinan las posibilidades; no puede haber comercio interestelar sin naves espaciales. Una raza limitada a un solo planeta, que posea un alto conocimiento de la mecánica pero cuyas máquinas básicas de industria y guerra requieran una gran inversión de capital, tenderá inevitablemente hacia el colectivismo bajo un nombre u otro. La libre empresa necesita espacio.
