“My worst fear is that people will feel unheard, even if their opinions aren’t desirable. When people think of themselves as unheard, and their voices remain oppressed, they’ll speak in the only language in which all men are fluent: violence.”

“There are many former Socialists down here, and if there were such a thing as Socialism combined with individual liberty, they’d all be happy Socialists above ground today. Caverns of truth surround them now, and they see with their own eyes that the utopian society of their dreams was nothing more than that—a dream. Being ‘blessed’ with State-enforced equality, they understand that freedom is much more important than equality as they quickly find that the only thing the State can ensure equal distribution of is misery.”

“A man who devotes his time and efforts, under his own direction, at his own pleasure, from his own property, in order to “make others rich” is called a miserable wage slave by the socialist. Instead, they suggest that the man shed the shackles of this miserable burden by devoting his time and efforts, under the State’s direction, at the State’s pleasure, from the State’s property, in order to “make others less poor.”
