Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged, and The Fountainhead. Each of these books shows true humanitarian value's to their fullest, also contradicting exactly what you just said very proficently.
If a man who worked and owned all his proceed's was to give all he had except that which he need to survive to anouther, each would come out worse. The one who gained would simply look to take more, (in most case's) while eventualy if not relieved the one upholding such dire help to the needy would eventualy be weighed down by the person who gained.
heh... Ayn Rand submit's the points so much better than me..

NOT POLITICAL THEORY.
You say : "If you LOVE your fellow man then you will achnowledge that you should not live life for others in anyway but should live merely for yourself. If ALL men acceppted this then maybe they would propigate a means to surivival on their own instead of relying like a parasite on others."
Your point assumes giving to "fellow man" and implying the "fellow man" capable and not in need. What about a parents supprot and nurturing of a child? what about societies care of orphanes? What about societies care for the sick? Elderly? Mentally disabled, or those met with tempory needs after disaster? Even in the animal kingdom many species will care for each other in time of need. When animals do it, do you call that a political theory also?
There are a few holes in this point: "If a man who worked and owned all his proceed's was to give all he had except that which he need to survive to anouther, each would come out worse."
Motzart died pennyless, gave all he had, made the world a better place.
Mother Teresa died pennyless, gave all she had, made the world a better place.
When I got divorced I gave my ex-wife everything except what I need it to survive, and I came out better!
How do you explain that?
