You are not a slave to the group, you choose to be part of the group because you realise the a) man has always been part of a group that relies on each other for survival, and b) that without the group you will die.
You are part of this group for yourself, as is everyone in the group. But mutual respect between members of the group allows people to recognise rights, including the right not to be exploited to somebody elses benefit.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
