:As Benjamin Constant explains[https://www.cato.org/blog/benjamin-constant-eloquent-defender-freedom] in his ''The Liberty of Ancients Compared with that of Moderns'',[https://web.archive.org/web/20160320234406/http://www.uark.edu/depts/comminfo/cambridge/ancients.html] the "liberty" of the ancients consists of a collective "liberty", that is, government granted rights.  One of the biggest flaws of any of these "isms" from Europe is that they all believe that government is the pinnacle of existence.  Communists like to play that their ideas are some of the newest on the planet, when in reality all Marx did was re-package the flaws of the ancients into a new box with new wrapping paper.  Reagan was correct when he said: "This idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man."  That's because the basis of Communism is not the individualist Liberty of the Moderns, communism is based on the collectivist "liberty" of the ancients.
