Hmmmm. . .
I hope not. But at the same time 'Man' is a social
animal - for a variety of reasons.

I recognize that I need the oil industry workers to
produce the fuel for my car . . . I can see how I need
the farmer for eggs and the baker for the bread that I
love to turn into a fried egg and cheese sandwich. And
lets not forget the electric utility workers I depend on
to keep my refrigerator cold and my skillet frying pan
hot.

I prefer that folks have the right to choose what sort
of job they want to do . . . As well as being forced
to take responsibility when they make poor choices.

I believe Adam Smiths 'invisible hand' and capitalism
will give an honest society the greatest chance for
overall happiness.

And I know that socialism will inevitably degenerate
into dictatorship and disaster for any society which
tries it.

People as cogs in a machine? Perhaps. But if the
alternative is anarchy and living like a cave man . . .
How about greasing this here cog?

Beats me. I'm not knowledgeable about very many societies.

But even if you ARE right (and I'm not saying you are), it really doesn't matter. People are sovereign. It sounds like you view them as cogs in a more important 'machine.' If so, the two of us have a fundamental disagreement.
