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.
