Civil, On-topic Discussion of Anarcho-Capitalism and other Libertarian Topics.
MEMBERS ONLY - Civil, on-topic discussion of anarcho-capitalism and other libertarian topics.
Libertarianism is a philosophy that holds that one should not initiate aggression on person or property. Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy that advocates for the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and free market production of law and justice. Anarcho-capitalists believe that in the absence of a state or ruler, society would improve itself through empowering individual choice and the discipline of the free market, or what its proponents describe as a voluntary society.
Racism and Social Justice are considered off-topic here; libertarianism does not have a racial component. All posts related to racism and social justice must have some obvious link to libertarianism and may be removed at moderator discretion.

What is Collectivism?
"Collectivism" is a simple concept, and concepts are what we use within our minds to reference things in reality. Collectivism describes a process by which we take an attribute (or several attributes) of an object that is included in a collective, and pretend that the attribute(s) apply to the collective itself.
The error:
of an object → to the collective
or more generally, collectivism is an example of the error:
of the instance → to the non-instance
It's just that simple and the consequences of the error are huge. It's not merely the misidentification of something, as we do that regularly. It's the misplacement of an attribute or attributes in such a way that it will lead us to completely mis-identify the nature of so many things around us, our own nature chief among them. As should be obvious, Collectivism is the source of "identity politics" and the belief that we are not Individuals but rather mere units of some larger collective.
The error was never that the collective isn't there. We are a society, trees do comprise a forest, and so on. Averages, statistics and generalizations are all legitimate (true) references. The error is evading that they are collective concepts and applying the attributes of those generalizations to the instances subsumed within them. With the use of language, such errors can run deep within our minds. It's an old saying, "He didn't see the forest for the trees," but that was never the problem. The gross error was that because we have the concept for a forest, we fail to see the trees for the forest. It can be a deadly error. No person was ever crushed and killed by a forest, they were crushed and killed by a tree. The attributes of a collective concept are not the attributes of the objects subsumed within them.
