No One Matters
Socialism has long advocated for the welfare of all. It has forever spoken of absolute equality among citizens, that everyone matters equally, that everyone has a right to well being, even if it comes from the backs of those who are working. However, if everyone matters, does anyone really matter at all?
If everyone is smart, no one is smart.
If everyone is strong, no one is strong.
If everyone is skilled, no one is skilled.
If everyone matters, no one matters.
A common statement that I have come across when speaking with socialists/communists, is that they all believe that sacrificing one for the good of the rest is justified. From my perspective, I can see how they think this way. Collectivizing the population strips the identity away from the individual, making them meaningless. In socialism, the fate of an individual lies in the hands of the collective. The individual matters to no one, as there is only the collective. The well being of the individual matters to no one, as there is only the well being of the collective.

In life, there is only the individual. It is always up to oneself to decide how he/she is going to better them self, even if they decide the best to do so is to join some form of socialist collective. Socialism leaves the individual with no right to them self. Instead, it places the rights of the individual in the hands of the collective.

In summary, socialism is the destruction of the individual. Socialism will gladly destroy the individual, so long as it means the well being of the collective. In socialism, everyone matters, so that no one matters.
