"The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized
society,
force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. _All the reasons which make the initiation of
force an evil_, make the retaliatory use of physical
force a moral imperative."---Ayn Rand, Virtue of Selfishness (emphasis mine)
"Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism"---Ayn Rand, Virtue of Selfishness
"Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent"---Ayn Rand, 1974 West Point lecture
