Ayn Rand was wrong on some very important points, but her concept of “sanction of the victim” is significant. The bad people declare that it is a moral good for the good people to participate in their own self-destruction.

I thought sanction of the victim referred to good allowing evil to exist at the expense of good's well-being.

Illegal immigration would be an example.
