WE the People are all Socialists

The Koch brothers and all their incorporated friends and businesses formed a political party that is in fact a pure Socialist entity. The Tea Party is a not-for-profit corporation (the evils of government corporations) that bands together the brainwashed masses in a union. This unionization, banding together a legal (meaning government-protected) group that battles to a common end, is Socialism. Trump has not hesitated to use these laws to maintain his wealth while tax payers have footed the bill for his poor management. Seems "the Donald" loves bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is another constitutionally guaranteed Socialism (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, I believe) allowing persons or corporations to avoid paying their debts.

The Truth: The rugged human individual is a great myth. They don't exist. They never have. A rugged individualist doesn't need government or economy or people or society or trade or money or the material goods achievable only through the Socialism of society. They, according to the tales, are self-responsible, self-functionary and totally self-reliant. They need not laws or protection or any of the trapping of government and you can ask them this when you find them camped with Bigfoot.

So rugged individualism by human beings is all a lie that never happened. There was always society and the benefits of society and any economics (trading even glorified by money is still trading) is a social event. So we must face the reality, only the collective WE can come to terms with the economic cancer that is eating away at us, this idea of rugged individualism. All human economics are social economics: i.e. Socialism. Understanding this will allow us to see the cancer for what it is. Failure will result in the death of our uniqueness among the animals, the death of our humanity. We will be forced to live as individuals in a society controlled by few for their profit and glory and they will abuse Socialism to achieve this end.
