Think I've got it @DodgyIdealist.
1. Society Inc. (this could be left, right, & center) do not ask what the values of human beings are, but rather what the values of society are/should be.
What are the ethics to achieve those values? At all costs, by any means. https://twitter.com/civilization_tm/status/1296040975647879170

2. As agents of society, they do not represent the interests of individuals, i.e., themselves, but the interests of society. This sacrifice of the self is the axiomatic source of their "morality". The "good of society" is the end, and people are just the means.
3. This is why Society Inc. has NO ethics. Whatever rights and freedom individuals have, exist only as a practical, not moral, solution. You cannot extract the product of a slave if you don't allow him some scope of action, but you also can't give him too much freedom either.
4. This is merely an efficient form of slavery; passive income indeed. It is easier to tell the slave he is free (Constitution) & whatever temporary sacrifices he must endure (the limitations and contradictions of the constitution) will lead one day to total & equal emancipation.
5. To Society Inc., right and wrong, justice and fairness are projects on hold. Ideals which cannot exist until society is equal. "We just need to be patient, think of others, not ourselves, and one day we will ALL be free; in perfect equality."
It has been apparent to me for some time, that the political spectrum is useless, as are the economic and political systems people claim.
There is only one distinction that matters in politics: individualist or collectivist? The rest is a distraction.
