For the common good

A term used by communists and socialists to push their agenda, such as saying that the lockdown is "for the common good."
"I know they say the lockdown is for the common good, but how could it be for the common good if it kills the economy?

It is also not 'to save grandma,' because otherwise they would let her see visitors in the nursing home. 'For the common good' seems communist to me."
