Would you tolerate a bomb in your body, waiting to detonate if you deviated from the needs of society?

Why is this stickied? Because it's thought provoking, and I was wondering how long a sticky like this will last with our top researchers hunting things down.
It's a literal marxist argument. You all see that right?
It's saying that acting in the interests of the self is something that must be punished with death for the 'greater good'. Marxists lack morality and therby assume it's absent in all. They don't understand consentual exchange or that inequality of outcome can arrive from unequal contributions.
They want to frame you as a bomb to justify lining you up against a wall and shooting you.
Everyone here hates marxism and all the degeneracy it spawns. You seem to be bringing a massive pair of vision-restricting glasses to your analysis here however.
It is a question posed to the reader, and almost every person I’ve got an answer from agreed with my own inclination that p53 is an agent of the Light. So the fact you read into this that the suppression of tumors is “bad” and that the analogy drawn to wider society such that human-analog “cancer suppressors” are deserving of being “lined up and shot” is rather absurd to me.
It’s not even a Marxist concept. Marxism and communism would allow the one feeding off of others to live, not destroy it once it stop contributing to society. It’s literally the polar opposite of Marxism.
It's because it's an actual argument that actual marxists use.
I almost envy the naive comfort you must live so far from them. But I'm surrounded by theire sort, and I'm giving you a heads up. Piss on it if you like, but you're agreeing with the marxist ideal that the selfish cell should be lined up and shot by p53 for failing to put the whole before the self.
You keep saying selfish, but every cell is “selfish”, like every gene and every person is - to a degree. The story is discussing cancerous cells. Cells SO selfish, that they not only cheat, but “capture the rules of the game” (which is to say, break the rules of the body, and metastasize into a tumor) such that their cheating can GROW unabated. This is not mere selfishness, this is the root of all evil.
p53, in a just society, would eliminate the oppressor, not the oppressed. Thus I hoped to evoke a more thought provoking discussion, along the lines of, how are these things determined beyond the “simple” scope of the network of cells we call a body?
