Sacrifice Men Challenges

More From Ayn Rand

[altruism] is a moral system which holds that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the sole justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, value and virtue. this is the moral base of collectivism, of all dictatorships.
Sacrifice Men Self
We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. we cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. we cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.

There's a definite sense this morning on the part of the kerry voters that perhaps this is code, 'moral values,' is code for something else. it's code for taking a different position about gays in america, an exclusionary position, a code about abortion, code about imposing christianity over other faiths.
Morning Gay America
We are on strike against martyrdom—and against the moral code that demands it. we are on strike against those who believe that one man must exist for the sake of another. we are on strike against the morality of cannibals, be it practiced in body or in spirit. we will not deal with men on any terms but ours—and our terms are a moral code which holds that man is an end in himself and not the means to any end of others.
Believe Mean Men
There is no hope for the world unless and until we formulate, accept and state publicly a true moral code of individualism, based on man's inalienable right to live for himself. neither to hurt nor to serve his brothers, but to be independent of them in his function and in his motive. neither to sacrifice them for himself nor to sacrifice himself for them.
Hurt Brother Independent
He in whose heart the law was, and who alone of all mankind was content to do it, his sacrifice alone can be the sacrifice all-sufficient in the father's sight as the proper sacrifice of humanity; he who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to god, he alone can give the spirit which enables us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to god. he is the only high-priest of the universe.
