Pensamento do dia

Hoje fizeram-me relembrar um texto de Ayn Rand sobre a revolta estudantil em Berkeley. O original, que é leitura interessante, pode ser encontrado no livro Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal e dá pelo nome de "The Cashing-In: The Student Rebellion".

Fica um pequeno excerto para refletir.

As a cultural-intellectual power and a moral ideal, collectivism died in World War II. If we are still rolling in its direction, it is only by the inertia of a void and the momentum of disintegration. A social movement that began with the ponderous, brain-cracking, dialectical constructs of Hegel and Marx, and ends up with a horde of morally unwashed children stamping their foot and shrieking: “I want it now!”—is through.
