W. Cleon Skousen, The First 2,000 Years: From Adam To Abraham
"It is also interesting to observe that communal ownership violates every instinct of human nature. It destroys initiative, nullifies free agency, suppresses inventive exploration, minimizes the dignity of the individual and makes a god out of an abstract thing called "The State"- to which is delegated complete, unrestricted control over life, liberty and property. . . Like so many other weak systems of government, it can survive only in an atmosphere of a slave state, ruled by a king or a dictator."

"ومن المثير للاهتمام أيضاً أن نلاحظ أن الملكية الجماعية تنتهك كل غريزة من غريزات الطبيعة البشرية. إنها تدمر روح المبادرة، وتلغي حرية الإرادة، وتكبت الاستكشاف الإبداعي، وتقلل من كرامة الفرد، وتصنع إلهاً من كيان مجرد يُدعى "الدولة" – الذي يُفوض إليه السيطرة الكاملة وغير المقيدة على الحياة والحرية والملكية... ومثلها مثل العديد من أنظمة الحكم الضعيفة الأخرى، لا يمكنها البقاء إلا في جو من دولة العبيد، يحكمها ملك أو دكتاتور."
