Andrew Bernstein Quote

“Altruism demands that an individual serve others, but doesn’t stipulate whether those others should be one’s family, or the homeless, or society as a whole. Collectivism states that, in politics, society comes first and the individual must obey.  Collectivism is the application of the altruist ethics to politics.”

~ Andrew Bernstein

I do not believe "altruism" can authoritatively demand anything. The rest doesn't sound like an individual that wrote the Capitalist Manifesto.

I feel just the opposite of this quote.

As someone said, we are here to help others, what the others are here for, I don't know.
