Margaret Thatcher — "Socialists cry 'Power to the people', and raise the clenched fist as they say it…"

Socialists cry 'Power to the people', and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they mean - a new tyranny. But we say 'Power to the people' and we mean the power to choose, the power to create, the power to own, the power to prosper. These are the true rights of man.

About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)

British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
