, Was it Karl Marx or Lenin or Stalin, I forget, who said,
"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society"
and, "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good".
And in the name of the common good, and presumably on its behalf...which certainly did not include liberty...those regimes went on to kill 75,000,000 of their own people.
Thank God, I say, we live in a country that recognizes and respects an individual's right to life and liberty, where slavery to anyone or any group has been banned, and where the would-be tyrants who voice such extreme socialist, nay, communist, ideas would never gain political office.
Thank God my father emigrated from Russia to the United States when those dictators came into power. Whew!
Oh, I just remembered who it was that said those things.
It was Hillary Clinton.
