The communists sell you the line, "What's good for society as a whole outweighs individual rights" because it appeals to the philanthropist in all of us, but think about it. Nothing is better for a country in every way than an individuals rights to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Individuals prosper, so does the state. Individuals do charitable works for those less fortunate.
What communists are doing is getting you to agree to give away your freedom and rights, period, end of sentence. BTW, ever notice that those at the top of communism become extremely rich? Coincidence? Subjects in communist countries ALWAYS live in abject poverty.
