Annotation
Pragmatic issue with leftist ideology... Individualism is the key to collectivism... Demands for collectivism that negate individual experience as the key building block of collectivism are hollow and lacking humanity; to plead for community you must recognize what makes you different from every other person on the planet while still seeing a common thread. You must see individualism as the building block of a collective world, not as a threat. All roads lead to end of the world, because once you know who you are, you start on a journey with others (roads are symbolic of connection), and the further you go on that journey, the more your world ends, and something larger than yourself emerges. Let it emerge.
