And For The Past Century It's Been In Direct Conflict With Its Illegitimate Offspring, Communism (again With A Capital C). Both Ask The Individual To Sacrifice His Self-interest To The Higher Goals Of The Organization.

Notice How Every Science Fiction Movie Or Television Show Starts With A Shot Of The Location Where The Story Is About To Occur. Movies That Take Place In Outer Space Always Start With A Shot Of Stars And A Starship. Movies That Take Place On Another World Always Start With A Shot Of That Planet.

You Don't Want To Start The Story By Confusing The Reader.
