Collectivism is centralized power by definition, an yes it is a party or a group. If you are virtuous you won't need propoganda puff pieces to gloat about yourself, misdeeds by collectivist nationalist govt. go hand in hand, we have over 100 years of data now, there's no argumemt.
Collectivism is emphasis on the group.
Nothing for that requires centralized power or a party.
So because betamax was obvious better it won against VHS?
Because the fights against dictators are virtuous they always succeed?
And so on...
How does that work? Collectivism is a governmental philosophy, you have to have a powerful government that taxes everyone into oblivion to fund "collectivism" and it has to keep people in line by telling them good stories about how collectivism "benefits" everyone. Collectivism in the current format of the definition and how it operates today, globally is centralized organization and planning, backed up by a powerful governing body which imposes its will upon people through force and coersion. Truth.
No
No
NO
For easyness, may I quote Wikipedia here?
I admit the english article is not the best one, but nowhere you will found that collectivism needs a state.
For example a cloister is a perfect example for a collectivist society.
Explain how collectivism works without government.
State is not government and government is not state.
Anyway, the volantaryists are first to deliver, I still haven't met even one who can explain even easy things like how to build a road without government or without state, not to mention without both.
