Ayn Rand at the Ford Hall Forum - Lesson 3 of 19

In this 1963 talk, Ayn Rand offers her assessment of President Kennedy’s signature New Frontier program. Rand identifies a fundamental principle that Kennedy’s program shares with the fascist states of twentieth-century Europe: the “subordination and sacrifice of the individual to the collective.” This principle, Rand argues, is the “ideological root of all statist systems, in any variation, from welfare statism to a totalitarian dictatorship,” and was ubiquitous in the political dialogue of 1960s America.

"Freedom is the first requirement of the “public interest”..."the principles of a free, non-coercive social system are the only form of the “public interest”"...so beautifully articulated...

definition of Fascism:
"A governmental system with strong centralized power permitting no opposition or criticism, controlling all affairs of the nation, industrial/commercial etc. emphasizing an aggressive nationalism."
This definition needs to be spread more because it's being completely altered

"Government is instituted to protect property of every sort, ” “This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.” James Madison

Terrible sound quality. I could fix that. But, I'd need to hear from someone at the institute.

Sounds super muffled like the tweeters are dead. I know sound in 1962 was much better than this. Ford Hall Forum talks have been consistently lousy in sound.
