Of all the statist violations of individual rights in a mixed economy, the military draft is the worst. It is an abrogation of rights. It negates man’s fundamental right-the right to life-and establishes the fundamental principle of statism: that a man’s life belongs to the state, and the state may claim it by compelling him to sacrifice it in battle. Once that principle is accepted, the rest is only a matter of time. ✨ Ayn Rand, Nathaniel Branden, Alan Greenspan, Robert Hessen (1986). Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, p.216, Penguin
