"Welfare programs are all immoral, even if they look noble. As humans, we all do feel sympathy for those less privileged and those less able-bodied. But this does not make it right for anyone to take our money or our property to help those people. It gets difficult to explain the moral logic of capitalism when one discusses such things because it looks very cruel to oppose such noble assistance. But it is easy to understand when one keeps in mind the example of a car thief who robs people in order to look after his family. Would you allow a thief to steal your money if he says that he needs it to look after his blind grandmother? No. Then why do you have no problem with the government taking your money to give it to the blind or the poor and so on?"

“The soviets were the realisation of an objective need for an organisation which has authority without having tradition, and which can at once embrace hundreds of thousands of workers. An organisation, moreover, which can unify all the revolutionary tendencies within the proletariat, which possesses both initiative and self-control, and, which is the main thing, can be called into existence within 24 hours.” - Leon Trotsky
