The collective demonizes the self in order to seize individual rights. It calls you selfish for wanting to excel while hoping we believe it. Self interest drives the human to wake up, to get dressed, to walk, to avoid catastrophe, yet the people actually believe that self centered behavior is evil.
It is the greatest obfuscation of our time when we convince ourselves that we are somehow less important than the state in that we are somehow capable, and expected, to take care of others before ourselves. You don't even accomplish that by electing politicians. They do it--out of self interest. So wins the politician.
