This statement sums up the only justification that collectivists can give about their system: that it is better than others'. Their system does not stand on its own, no, they need other men precisely because they are unwilling, and hence unable, to stand up for themselves. The self-irony is sickening - they state their policies, their system to be superior, but can do so only in the presence of a system they despise.
Their system stands not on virtue, but on envy and hatred of the man who is more capable than them, and is focused solely on his destruction. They are no better than a caveman who bashes another's head because he does not understand that others' life, others' property, is not his own.
Since these men can not create value for themselves, they leech it off others by force. Force is a necessity in a situation like this because men who respect property rights, who understand that their inability is not a noose around the better man's neck, trade voluntarily, and on their own terms. They would never give something of value to them away without recieving an equal, or greater, value in return.
The unchecked government is merely such a system on a large scale. It sole function is the creation and maintainence of institutions that legalize theft. Since in such a system, a value of an object or person is not determined by the virtues he possesses, but rather by the amount of force upon others with which he seeks completion of its goals, the more barbaric an organization, the more successful it will be in such a system.
The government puts a gun on every man's head by the introduction of Mandatory taxes, and places an ultimatum upon his life. If he refuses to getting robbed and defends himself, they threaten to pull the trigger.
Money is the root of all good - it is what makes individual rights possible, and allows a man to stand up for himself, allowing him not to be a crutch on others and not supporting others if he wishes not to. This is what the government targets first, and this is what it runs on. Take away the men who produce money, who give it value because of their virtue, and you will see this sytem fall.
