1. In October 1919, Lenin paid a secret visit to the laboratory of the great physiologist I. P. Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known chiefly for the concept of the conditioned reflex. In his classic experiment, he found that a hungry dog can be trained to associate the sound of a bell with food and will salivate at the sound even in the absence of food. Lenin wanted to find out if his work on the conditional reflexes of the brain might help the Bolsheviks control European behaviour.“I want the masses of Russia to follow a Communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,”Lenin explained. Pavlov was astounded. It seemed that Lenin wanted him to do for humans what he had already done for dogs.“Do you mean that you would like to standardise the population of Russia? Make them all behave in the same way?”he asked.“Exactly” replied Lenin.“Man can be corrected. Man can be made what we want him to be.”

2. In the above we can see he central disagreement between the Left and the right.....their understanding of human beings....
The Left, communists, socialists, fascists, Liberals, Progressives see their mission as the changing of human nature, while we on the right see human nature as immutable.
There are, of course, significant differences between the more aggressive versions and Liberalism or Progressivism, but these are mainly attributable to the cultural differences between Europe and America- and between national cultures in general.
Some of those groups try to do so by re-education camps, gulags, and murder. In this country, the Leftists inducing conformity by training.....training from the earliest age to follow the dictates, the rules set down by government....whether they conform to reason and experience, or not.

4. The subject is autonomy, and the exercise of personal responsibility, the values and institutions found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, i.e., the principles of an earlier time in America: are they relevant today?
a. Freedom will eventually fail due to imposition of Leftist power. It is, in fact, that feature of human nature, that is the impulse to exercise and to concentrate power, that the Founders tried to check, and balance.
This understanding was covered, in the Constitution, by the ideas of balance of power, and that of federalism. Federalism meant the restrictions on governmental power...."The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
But an avalanche of regulations leaves very little power for the people.
b. "Anthropocentricity and individualism...Humanism and Italian art were similar in giving paramount attention to human experience, both in its everyday immediacy and in its positive or negative extremes...The human-centredness of Renaissance art, moreover, was not just a generalized endorsement of earthly experience. Like the humanists, Italian artists stressed the autonomy and dignity of the individual."

Also seems like conservatives loved to be told what to do, where to protest, who can listen to your phone calls, until the black guy became President. 
THEN, all of a sudden, its a burden.
