Desireable for the group as a whole, and the individual members of that
group (or at least the majority thereof). Where your right as an individual
to remain an ignorant and unproductive member of society conflicts with my
right as an individual not to have to support you economically, I think that
my right should prevail. Similarly, that can be applied to the group as a
whole; the rights of all those individual members of the group translates
into a collective right of the group, as defined by the rights of the
majority of individuals.
