Don’t forget references to ‘the common good’. That’s the favorite blank check of collectivists.

Yes, and Social Justice and Economic Justice are other code words for communism to watch out for.

And, since it’s impossible in a democracy to agree on “the common good”, arbitrary totalitarian power must be given to some deciding body in order to decide and enforce what THEY decide is the “common good”.

This body also has to have no moral qualms about using any means necessary to achieve the goals that they set for society.
