Collectivism - the Monster that Cannot Die
Just as voluntary cooperation is natural amongst people, so is envy. The implication, for me, is that the battle for political anarchy is a path, not a destination.
The thought struck me from this bit of honesty in a Ted Rall commentary:
“In Soviet times,” a man in present-day Tajikistan told me, “we lived worse than we do today. But we were all the same. Now we live a bit better, but we have to watch rich assholes pass us in their Benzes.” Which would he choose? No hesitation: “Soviet times.”
And even if some individuals can conquer coveting the property of their brothers, “replacements” are being born and trained all the time.
