Margaret Thatcher

"Socialists cry "Power to the people", and raise the clenched fist as they say it.
We all know what they really mean—power over people, power to the State." ~
Margaret Thatcher

"Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical
deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression,
unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all
about. … In short, the state [is] everything and the individual nothing." ~
Margaret Thatcher
