No…not a member of that party…..being owned by it.
Don’t forget….that was the avocation, owning folks, of the Democrats before the Republicans pried their other slaves away from them.
1.The central belief of the Democrats, and of all iterations of the Left, is that only the state, the collective has rights. Having no rights makes one a slave to the state. . There are no ‘checks and balances’ for Progressives….government is king, czar, the ‘man of steel, Stalin’….it’s why Leftists call their candidates god, Jesus, the messiah.
2. If there is no individual with rights, there are no intellectual possessions, no free speech, no freedom of conscience. Only the state, the government, the society as a whole, has ownership of anything and of everything….which is why private property is erased under Leftist regimes, whether outright or via regulation and statute.
3. “In the Soviet Union, ‘society’ claimed ownership of the individual: People wishing to emigrate were denied permission on the ground that they would be taking away education that had been provided by the state. Because the education could not be left behind, the individual could not be allowed to disassociate from society. In effect, the individual could not be distinguished from society. This is where the attack on individualism leads.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.336.
4. No one should be shocked that the same view prevails in a government whose leader envied Joseph Stalin:
The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”

May 14, 1943
Happy Chandler's dangerous statism - The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions
One can't be surprised that the primacy of the Constitution ended with the 32nd President.
5. You might recall the most recent socialist-in-charge explaining that very same Soviet doctrine:
“…if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own….It must be because I worked harder han everybody else….If you’ve got a business- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Obama, Roanoke, Va. 2012
6. Actually, Obama was copying another socialist:
“There Is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to the market on roads the rest of us paid for….You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea- God bless, keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is that you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who is coming along.” Elizabeth Warren, 2011
In each case we hear the echo of the Progressive attack on individualism; it is the collectivist political agenda.
