Yes, but are we really dealing with “sane”?No one sane politician actually wants to invade if they can negotiate.

Democratic Socialism sounds a lot like Collectivism to me.
All forms of collectivism/statism subjugate and subordinate the individual to the collective.
One thing I am noticing with Venezuela is that while Trump raves on about running the country, the far more level-headed, experienced Rubio is talking about "governing" and cooperating with Rodriguez. So, yes, we are, in the end. Trump's already off on Colombia and will probably leave Venezuela to Rubio going forward. I am no fan of Marco Rubio, but he's Hispanic (Cuban parents) and has been in politics for a long time so has the knowledge and experience for handling something like this. That said, he is probably the reason this happened as much as Trump. As an opponent of the Cuban regime, he is also generally opposed to Latin American socialism in general, including the Chavistas (Hugo Chavez's successors).Yes, but are we really dealing with “sane”?
Subjugate is a strongly negative term to apply to a relationship web in which the well being of the individual depends on the well being of the collective. Believing an individual should not any responsibilities to the collective which makes the survival of the individual possible is a bizarre belief. Humans have depended on each other for hundreds of thousands of years.Democratic Socialism sounds a lot like Collectivism to me.

This exactly. The "rugged individualist" paradigm that developed in the West, especially in North America, post-Enlightenment gets a lot of blame for the state of the world. Total collectivism with no individual authority or responsibility is wrong, too, but there needs to be a balance.“none of us is well until we’re all well”
No I think he was talking about helping and healing rather than demonizing. He also says “everyone is unshakeably good, no exceptions”. He works with some pretty tough dudes who’ve done bad things - promoting belonging and love - in inner city LA. His work helps reduce violent crime.This exactly.

Subjugate implies coercive control and power imbalance.Subjugate is a strongly negative term
That is a bizarrely negative BS assumption.Believing an individual should not any responsibilities to the collective which makes the survival of the individual possible is a bizarre belief.
That plays well for the Trump legacy - not exceptional but unshakably good.He also says “everyone is unshakeably good, no exceptions”.

He does bad things. I absolutely do not like it. He’s severely damaged but he’s a fellow human. If he’d been cared for differently - if some other variable happened, some positive influence that stuck with him - maybe he would behave differently. Imagine if he put the same amount of energy into his goodness.That plays well for the Trump legacy - not exceptional but unshakably good.![]()
This only works when all individuals agree to and understand reciprocity. People like Musk would take all they can and give little backSubjugate implies coercive control and power imbalance.
.ppThat is a bizarrely negative BS assumption.
True interdependence signifies a network of mutual reliance, where individuals and communities reinforce each other through reciprocal and voluntary contributions.

People as in a collective?People like Musk would take all they can and give little back
