In the eyes of socialism, it is not the individual but the collective society which is the value and they are qualified to rule from above. The socialist always seeks to control others and in so doing, the<strong> individual<\/strong> is always sacrificed for the <strong>collective state<\/strong>. It is not what your country can do for you personally, it is the teaching that you as the<strong> individual<\/strong> are to be sacrificed for the greater good of the whole which is controlled by the politicians \u2013 i.e. former the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1928-Berlin-Revolution.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58368 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1928-Berlin-Revolution.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1928-Berlin-Revolution.jpg 264w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/1928-Berlin-Revolution-180x130.jpg 180w\" alt=\"\" width=\"367\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a>Nevertheless, the socialist always pretend that they are on your side. They have flipping everything upside down. Your personal well being is only possible by surrendering your individuality to the state. It is what they have done with Death Insurance. The insurance companies could not sell Death Insurance, so the reversed it and called it Life Insurance. Like fire insurance protects against fire, life insurance does not protect you from living forever. They reversed the label to make you feel proud how much Death Insurance you own. Socialist did the exact same thing. They get people to surrender their individuality to the state and always blame the rich when your quality of life declines.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that career politicians even on the right also support the government against the individual.
