    My sincere wish is that the common American will learn the roots and causes of totalitarianism -- the sacrifice of the individual to the crown, emperor, council, state, government, 'authority', etc.. We think of Nazis as killers of the Jews, yet all the while beg the State to copy everything out of the Nazi playbook that preceded the genocide. The genocide could never have happened if the people had not empowered the State to do so.

    Excellent quote! If everyone in this country knew more about the thought processes of socialist leaders the left would never get more that 20% of the vote. All the tyrants in history had this as a goal.

    Perhaps this bodes well for the failure of socialism in America — the progressives are consumed by identity politics, ever trying to prop up the appropriating of an identity contrary to one's biology.  Rather than immersing themselves in the crowd, they insist on being singled out for celebrating their identity.  some Americans may be embracing socialism, but they can't seem to stop making it about 'me.'

    The cult of individuality, indeed is misguided, but we must never underestimate the productiveness of the humble nonconformist, diverse individual; their indispensable.

    Hah!  We know what you really mean, Fred.  'The cult of individuality is misguided, but sometimes we really need an individual to lead us in the right way of socialism.'  When we talk about respecting the individual we mean ALL individuals.  YOU are implying the old con that all are equal but some are more equal than others...

    No such implication of some more equal than others from this humble fellow, not at all Mr Archer, the correct explained formulation leads, so its vitally important to allow the correct explainer and their explanation have the podium. I will never deny you the podium, Mr Archer, but your irrationality and illness, at this juncture, will have to force us to a rational and healthy speaker untill your health is more developed.
