Social consciousness

Q: What should we think about these statements?


The great individualist:
“I am a pure capitalist.  So long as my belly is full - to hell with all the others!”

The great populist:
“I am a progressive.  If you don’t share soon, I’ll blow your head, bust your belly, grab your name and stump your claim!”


Q: Is there such a thing as social conscience?



Note:
Take it easy; they’re meant to humor.  Doing syntactic pun via tautological speech.
