"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Individualism, Collectivism, and Other Murky Labels
Submitted by Christopher Lempa on Sat, 2007-11-17 16:00
"Imagine the following person. He believes all individuals should be free to do 'anything that's peaceful' and therefore favors private property, free global markets, freedom of contract, civil liberties, and all the related ideas that come under the label 'libertarianism' (or liberalism). Obviously he is not a statist. But is he an individualist and a capitalist or a socialist and a collectivist?"
