One of the chief themes of Galt's speech is the idea that society had begun to hold sacrifice as its highest virtue, but Galt points out that in society's twisted morality, societies concept of sacrifice was not that of noble self-sacrifice, it was responding to the demands of others that was held as a virtue.

LR Podcast, S3E14: JP’s Dystopic Journal

Our dystopia and how we got in it.
The ends the Left have in mind is some sort of collectivist Utopia. Before they can build their brave new world, they must tear down the old one.
