Some good points and insight into the collectivist ‘mindset’ of the left and their national socialist scheming.

Their collective ownership belief system is the only way they can rightfully say things like:

‘From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. ‘
Karl Marx

Or ‘Spread the wealth’ around or talk of wealth redistribution without it being outright theft.

Since this mindset also fly in the fact of human nature, it has to be forced on people – and that where the desire of the Leftist national socialists to have the government have monopoly on the use of force.

George Washington was on this one early on, to wit:

"The common and continual mischief of the spirit of Party is sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it."

“The idea that people utilizing their freedom of association to pool resources in order to influence politics is somehow corruptive of the political process stems from the unspoken idea that the country is one big commons owned collectively by us all and the government’s purpose is to decide how to fairly allocate the commons.”

Nonsense. The suspicion that political parties would corrupt government didn’t originate with Marxism, it’s something that American founders worried about before they even ratified the Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton and James Madison can be seen discussing the issue in Federalist Papers #9 and #10. They call parties “factions”.

About half of people do not vote now. Most of those do not vote because they do not know enough about the situation to vote with any degree of rationality.l

Requiring everyone to vote gives enormous power to the old media, as people who know little, mostly know what they do from the old media.

It is a recipe for disaster.
