But Rand is like a lot of people on TBR ... whole cake or none. Not even a crumb.
And that is the kind of mindset and acceptance of Communism that dooms us to being subjugated to tyranny forever.
I am so very glad those with this mindset of incremental negotiating with tyrants to get a little empty promise of liberty returned - did not prevail in the 1770s.
I am glad our Forbears went full cake or none - because until now, we have been beneficiaries of that insistence.
Now... we are happy to grovel at the feet of the muggers that have stolen our cake at gunpoint in the middle of the night, and beg them for a pittance of some crumbs from our stolen cake that we might satisfy ourselves with having crumbs instead of nothing at all.
Pathetic. This is why we are doomed to tyranny; too many demanding everyone beg the muggers for a few crumbs of their liberty back.
