Today’s prevalent government: becoming our most dangerous violator instead of protector of our rights; initiates physical force in any manner it pleases instead of protecting us from the initiators of physical force; no longer serving as the instrument of objectivity in human relationships but is creating a deadly subterranean reign of uncertainty and fear, by means of non-objective laws whose interpretation is left to the arbitrary decisions of random bureaucrats; instead of protecting men from injury by whim, our government is arrogating to itself the power of unlimited whim - so that we are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: where government is free to do anything it pleases, while we may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force. The Nature of Government by Ayn Rand.
