I have said that minorities can dictate their own terms to majorities which desire to secure their services, the reason being that the former are alone competent to determine what treatment will supply them with a motive to exert themselves.

What holds good of minorities as opposed to majorities holds good in essentials, though in a somewhat different form, of majorities as opposed to such minorities.
Let us turn again to a matter to which I have referred already--namely, the family life of the citizens of any race or nation.

This results from propensities in a vast number of human beings which, although they are similar, are in each case independent.

These propensities give rise to legislation, the object of which is to prescribe rules by which their satisfaction may be made secure; but the propensities are so far from originating in legislation that no legislation which seriously interfered with them would be tolerated.

Socialists themselves have continually admitted this very thing.
