Everytime I here individualism brought up by someone from Hexbear or Lemmygrad, it gets talked about as if it's categorically bad and wrong. Why is that?

This goes against everything I've learned in the states, where we consider individualism a necessary part of being a responsible and moral person, whereas collectivism strips us of our humanity and turns us into subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.

But I have some experience in fighting for socialism

Love how understated he is in his writings.

The capitalists will say : Presidents come and presidents go, but we go on forever; if this or that president does not protect our interests, we shall find another.

I wonder if he knew about the business plot already at this time, or if it's your standard communist Cassandra powers

    Well the investigation into the buisness plot was being spun up at the time this piece came out. It's always possible Soviet intelligence had a clue what was going in, but without conclusive evidence it's hard to say.

    I'd chalk it to bit of both.
