at best

to underestimate the consequences gives strength to the aggressor. don't think it's so bad? they'll show you bad. redistribution progresses from wealth to life, life giving liberties. they don't deserve it, but now earning has become an archaic ability. need takes over ownership. the weak pull up, bringing the strong further and further down with them. equality at the basic level. not bringing the bottom up, but pulling the top down. suffrage turns to suffering. freedom all around, in speeches and theory, but never in practice. for the greater good? yes, the good, but not the greater. selflessness takes hold, a stronger grip than ever imagined. can't becomes Kant, more frightening than the forces pushing in around the individual.
