Ayn Rand Zitate

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

Ayn Rand

Deutsche Übersetzung

Einzelne Rechte unterliegen keiner öffentlichen Abstimmung; eine Mehrheit hat kein Recht, die Rechte einer Minderheit abzustimmen; Die politische Funktion von Rechten besteht gerade darin, Minderheiten vor Unterdrückung durch Mehrheiten zu schützen (und die kleinste Minderheit auf der Erde ist das Individuum).

Jim Garrison

Only Labour is in a position to protect individual rights against abuses by the state.
