The Scourge of Collectivism in the Nation State . . .

[redcliffsw]

Collectivism, as a political ideology, thrives on the idea that force by the state should determine how those in the mob can benefit at the expense of others. It allows for the collective to force policy decisions that serve to dictate how each individual must live his life. It has no respect for private property. It attempts to destroy self-responsibility, self-reliance, and self-interest. It puts the mob, whether that is the community, the state, or the nation, above all else. It relies on the elimination of individualism, all for the so-called benefit of society as a whole. Collectivism is then, the epitome of immorality, of dishonesty, and of exploitation.
-Gary D. Barnett

We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, "to be free from freedom."
