Ayn Rand - The Importance of Individual Rights




- "There is only one fundamental right, a man's right to his own life."
~ Ayn Rand 

- "The term Individual Rights is a redundancy there is no other kind of rights."
~ Ayn Rand


"If one wishes to advocate a free society that is capitalism one must realize that its indispensable foundation is the principle of Individual Rights. If one wishes to uphold Individual Rights one must realize that capitalism is the only system that can uphold and protect them." ~ Ayn Rand

"It was the concept of Individual Rights that had given birth to a free society. It was with the destruction of Individual Rights that the destruction of freedom had to begin." ~ Ayn Rand

"Every political system is based on some code of ethics the dominate ethics of mankind's history were variants of the altruist collectivist doctrine, which subordinated the individual to some higher authority, either mystical or social." ~ Ayn Rand
