Milton Friedman - Collectivism

Collectivism is a bit too ideal, and this video is an outdated excerpt, and not all accurate, but it's a thread to what i believe is necessary for human progress: not forgetting that ultimately we are all the same - and our needs firstly are identical, and our ambitions and goals, however different, must not be at the absolute cost of pain or oppression of another.

Free thought can only truly reside in free living, which can only happen in a free world, but ultimately that can only happen in a free and equal society.
the only problem is that the taste of success often brings with it the feeling of supreme power, thus dividing the people.
the solution to me seems, an objectively-controlled environment which governs the society, and allows the rich to remain rich, yet holds them responsible/liable to enable the less rich to have opportunity and affordable health and education.
that's all.
the only problem here, and of course it remains evident from the beginning of time, is that those that have make sure those that don't never have enough.
