She is describing an individual's voluntary disavowal of selfishness in pursuit of an aspiration- just as Franklin did.


I agree with you, if it is a voluntary decision - thus my question to her. For the first time in a very long time in this country, we are at a flashpoint regarding individual rights, largely because of our current president.

I personally don't play the Lenin/Stalin card with regular citizens - it's as silly as calling my mother (god rest her soul) a Stalinist simply because she often said the same things as Tamar has said. But it's also why I pose the question of whether she advocates mandating those types of values.
