The time for talk being over, the time for ending our personal independence is now.

The eye cannot say to the hand, because you are not an eye, I don't need you.  Everyone is important, and that is the essence of freedom. As a natural consequence of living in a society, we each contribute either directly or indirectly to each other's experience,  ideally not by dominating, but by enhancing.

We are not all socialists now, capitulating solely to the needs of the machinery. Rather, we are spirit beings having a human experience.

No individual is an island to themselves. We live in a society sharing a certain heritage.  That heritage is the very freedom being threatened by those who are not of our heritage, but desire to establish a heritage of their own.  A heritage where they are the taskmaster, and we, the slaves.

We can resist and thwart their effort now or liberate ourselves by rebelling later.
"[I]f you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only with a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." Winston Churchill.
