"The main plank in the National Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood."
"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole...that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will of an individual...this state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture...we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man."
Adolf Hitler
"There is a great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual; between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he is a saint or a hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war."
Benito Mussolini
"Fascist ethics begin...with the acknowledgement that it is not the individual who confers a meaning upon society, but it is, instead, the existence of a human society which determines the human character of the individual. According to Fascism, a true, great spiritual life cannot take place unless the State has risen to a position of preminence in the world of man. The curtailment of liberty thus becomes justified at once, and this need of rising the State to its rightful position."
Mario Palmieri
"All our lives, we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of a single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all."
Lenin
"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."
Hillary Clinton
"At a time when our entire country is banding together and facing down individualism, the Patriots set a wonderful example, showing us all what is possible when we work together, believe in one another, and sacrifice for the greater good."
Ted Kennedy
"the good of the many comes before the good of the few."
Anybody notice the disturbing similarities?
