It's not what Ds envision. It is what is. While the state hasn't gone so far as the Nazis to count citizens as assets, quadrupling the net worth of their country, the basics haven't changed.
I was thinking of a nationalized health care system...as the worst case scenario for losing one’s humanity to the “experts”-—so it’s not here yet..but getting closer.
Yes the Nazis and the Soviets inflicted these horrors —not sure of you sense of counting humans as “assets”...they are assets intrinsically.
