American socialist Noam Chomsky made the same argument concerning Social Security: that allowing people to invest in markets is a bad thing, for "putting people in charge of their own assets breaks down the solidarity that comes from doing something together, and diminishes the sense that people have responsibility for each other."

Once again, Im at a loss for words to describe my contempt for those who think they can tell me what to with MY money..

There's only one way to do things. The way The Annointed want us to.

Whoso wants the "solidarity" and "responsibility for each other", should go straight into khmer Rouge communes, for there such a person ought to feel right at home. The whole Western Civ is grounded in individualism, i.e. repudiation of normative "solidarity" and "responsibility for each other".
In a sense, it is our slogan "Get lost!" versus theirs "Workers of the world, unite!"
