Whats the Difference

Communism, Marxism, Fascism and every type and style of socialism known to man have been the cruelest forms of governance ever conceived, for the individual in particular, this is undisputed history. So ask yourself this question; what has changed about those ideologies that makes them acceptable today? What has change about them that makes them desirable for America, as apposed to the ideology of our founding fathers? And don't say slavery because slavery was never condoned or encouraged by our founding, but was and is a standard fair for all the others. So what has changed?
The truth is nothing!! Has change except the number of people today in America that have come to believe that slavery is preferable to liberty and freedom. The aggregate is more important than you, if you don't except that view you are narcissistic. Your very existence and life is only worth its contribution to the whole and must be sacrificed to it.
Being as I was born American free of the oppression of the group and governance it is beyond my comprehension. In my entire life of 71 + years, I have never encountered a fellow American that said they would rather be slave than free. Although I have met many who desired and in some cases demanded what I had, both materially and psychologically and it didn't matter that what I had was hardly anything more than average if not classified as poverty. The only disparity between us had nothing to do with the resources we had, in fact many of them earned more money than me. The difference as I discovered was how we individually handled the resources available. The trade offs where significant, like I cut my own hair instead of going to a barber; I bought clothes off the rack where they bought designer clothes. I chose entertainments with minimal costs where they went high end. I didn't buy drinks for the house to impress others nor spent money on drugs etc. The simplest explanation is extravagance verses frugality yet I and my family ate better always had transportation and over all was never in need. I lived my life within my means for the most part yet many saw me and mine as better off than themselves. The envy was disgusting and they would have no willingness to see the differences. It was like I was evil and somehow I was depriving them.
You might say, it would be like being in a lifeboat and others want a larger share of the resources than you because you appear to be getting along better on your share and in some cases you already get the smaller share.
