The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? if it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. if goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

Explain! tell a man to explain how he dropped into hell! explain my preference! i never had a preference for her, any more than i have a preference for breathing. no other woman exists by the side of her. i would rather touch her hand if it were dead, than i would touch any other woman's living.

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

Liberalism -- it is well to recall this today -- is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. it announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.
Determination Generosity Enemy

Spiritual Determination Adventure
In the mighty and almost limitless potential of american industry-the brilliance and rugged determination of its leaders; the skill, energy and patriotism of its workers-there has been welded an almost impregnable defense against the evil designs of any who would threaten the security of the american continent. it is indeed the most forceful and convincing argument yet evolved to restrain the irresponsibility of those who would recklessly bring down upon the good and peace-loving peoples of all the nations of the earth the disaster of total war.

There is a sort of myth of history that philosophers have.... history for philosophers is some sort of great, vast continuity in which the freedom of individuals and economic or social determinations come and get entangled. when someone lays a finger on one of those great themes--continuity, the effective exercise of human liberty, how individual liberty is articulated with social determinations--when someone touches one of these three myths, these good people start crying out that history is being raped or murdered.
