Well, seeing this in several threads - do you think it is true? And why?
Oh, and before we start - could one enlighten me about the exact meaning of this line, because you can translate it in several ways into German (and I often notice that certain expressions have a different meaning in different languages).
In German "right" can be translated as
a) noun: "Recht" = the "law" generally
b) noun: "Recht" = a specific right or set of rights (like human rights)
c) adjective: "richtig" = means something is right or correct (here I assume it is used as morally right)
So does the line mean in English
a) might makes (the law)
b) might defines certain rights
c) might makes everything to be ok, because (morally) right?
Or all three together, or the first two (which are quite similar, but IMO not totally the same)
