There was a sentiment during WWII where they "expressed a sentiment that the shared hardship was a "good part" because it created a powerful sense of unity and national purpose, often encapsulated in the phrase, "we were all in the same boat". This shared experience crossed traditional class barriers." I really think this is what these insipid collectivists want. The problem is that collectivism becomes burdensome and only those chosen will get ahead. They are making a prison for themselves and others because they can't handle freedom. All collectivist societies fail.
