Thanks for the ping! This is not the last time we will encounter the concept that men in the collective are superior to individuals with respect to political and moral rights. Hegel developed this theme by identifying that collective with The State, Marx picked it up from there, and we still hear echoes of this in the identity politics the Left is promoting so violently in the United States. I use the term “violently” precisely. One could, at first, lose one’s job and one’s head in France for espousing the ancient doctrines of the Church against the radicals; one can lose one’s job and one’s reputation today merely for expressing disbelief in the politics of protected classes and “social justice”, and that would be extended to murder if they thought they could get away with it and will when they can.
