Collectivism is a governmental philosophy

No

you have to have a powerful government that taxes everyone into oblivion to fund "collectivism"

No

keep people in line by telling them good stories about how collectivism "benefits" everyone.

NO

For easyness, may I quote Wikipedia here?

Collectivism is the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that emphasizes the group and its interests

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.

Sort:  

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.
