"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men." Ayn Rand

That is one huge load of BS. I suggest you study the concept of the sovereignty of the individual before you decide you are capable of commenting on the purpose and proper structure of society. It is hard for me to believe anyone would make such a idiotic statement as this. "sociologists know what is the best thing for the health of the society."

Koan you make no sense. Are you saying society is the tribe? If so, don’t you mean the tribe always has the right to do what is in the best interest of the tribe? Did a tribal God give your tribe these awesome powers over life and death or did you come up with it picking nits out of your hair? I’m glad Trump, not Koan is Chief. “Society always has the right to do what is in the best interest of the tribe. Society has the right to put you to death if it feels necessary. Taking some of your food away and giving it to others pales in comparison. And what do you think a progressive tax system is all about?”
