We, Groups, Politics

Not every group is a We--in some, the association is too loose, while in others, it suppresses its individual members.  Interestingly, both of those flaws are ascribed to contemporary American society, depending on political orientation.  Regardless, it seem difficult for either of those antagonists to deny that a We, which combines coherence and individual freedom, is not a superior model.  Similarly inferior to it is Kant's Moral paradigm, which, because it entails the partial suppression of Individuality, seems more an ideal of Deontology than of Reason.  Nor, like that model, is a We, in principle, unattainable, as any circle of friends proves, i. e. that a We might be unwieldy on a mass scale is inadequate as an a priori argument against it as an ideal in Political Philosophy.
