Why is it that collectivists:
1. ......tend to celebrate "diversity", on the one hand, but then try to pound us all into the same square hole no matter what shape we may be on the other hand? For example, we must all have the same health insurance and be educated the same way and have the same type of retirement etc.
2. ......tend to dismiss the notion that we all share a universal morality? Instead, they often insist that morals depend upon culture and that morality is really relative.
3. ......tend to rail against corporations when corporations are nothing more than a form of collectism? I guess they prefer all these corporations to form one really large corporation called the government.
4. .....tend to support social democracies? After all, freedom is dangerous. Free trade is but one example. One must centrally plan trade as well as any of our other activities. If not then how can these things be centrally planned if there is dissent of any kind? It would seem to me that central planners would constantly be changing directions based upon the whims of a democracy with no real goal to ever be attained, that is, if it were a true democracy. Could it be that all this support for social "democracies" is nothing more than lip service since these democracies all tend to churn out the same types of leadership that are headed in the same direction in terms of central planning? After all, central planners must save us from ourselves. There is an economy to save and envirnoment to save etc. It seems to me that if there is but one direction in order to "save" us all, what is needed is a dictator.
