"Political tags—such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist,
fascist, liberal conservative, and so forth—are never basic
criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want
people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The
former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest
good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons,
suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable
neighbors than the other sort.”
“Being generous is inborn; being altruistic is a learned
perversity. No resemblance—“
--Heinlein
