[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3476796, member: 63706"] Except none of them actually follow their platforms, it's all lip service. And it's not just about political groups. It's about any group, or any thought even. Look up the "beetle in the box" thought experiment and solipsism. What it means to be a Republican, or Democrat, or whatever... is different from individual to individual. And it's not possible for two individuals to perfectly relate to one another what their thoughts and views are. You can say you belong to such a group, but the group you belong to is the one in your head, and that will never be identical to the group that's in someone else's head. This is why the individual is the only thing that is capable of integrity, a group cannot be integral unless we manage to develop telepathy. That is why the individual is supreme above the group. That is why justice can only be an individual concept, and never a social one. [/QUOTE]
