It's interesting, having read Who's and Safety's views are repeats of the collectivist left in Europe, the leading socialists, who followed Rousseau and Hegel, Marx and others. I'm sitting here reading about those well-known people and how they claimed the moral highground of altruism where morality is selfless, where the individual is expected to sacrifice for the greater good of the collective and how socialist leaders know better than the people what they want, and how true freedom is to be found in complete submission to the law. Of course that was dealt two blows. The second the bloody suppression of revolt in Hungary by Societ tanks and troops, all to send the message thosee two keep repreating that you eith er like it or leave. The first blow was the slightly earlier admission by Khrushchev of Stalin's mass murders of Soviet citizens. History says such thinking fails. Yet here we see it again.
There is a difference. Back then it was all about oppression of workers and class struggle, nowadays it's about the oppression of identity groups and identity politics.
