Something that has always stuck with me is the Margaret Thatcher quote "There is no such thing as society, There are individual men and women, and there are families." and I think I never really bought the "...and there are families." part. I have a decent relationship with my familiy, but my parents didn't feel like it was fair of me to ask them to pay for college and it was the most consequential decision of my life that I had no say in.
The reason I go out in the street as a part of a weird socialist organization is because it is the thing that makes the most sense to me in order to fight for broader change in society, but also because It's the best bet for making my life better. The way I get healthcare is if everyone gets healthcare, the way I get the war in Gaza to end or to stop the government from kidnapping presidents is by convincing people that it's our collective responsibility *as workers* to end it.
Seasons don’t fear collectivism, nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.

The general welfare phrase in our Constitutional preamble seems like a collectivism to me.
