To hear modern collectivists talk, their aim is not the eradication of political economy, but merely the equalization of the 'classes.' As we well know, the illusion of equality is superficial beyond the moral and legal equality all humans share.It is precisely these inequalities that make the human condition what it is. Thus, collectivism would strip humanity of that which makes us human.

Agree with your enemy on the way to the judge.

Collectivism is a good thing, when the individual members are free to leave. What represents communalism better than the church? Collectivism and the principles put forward on strictly that basis are properly derived from Judeo/Christian scripture and tradition.

The enemy of freedom is statism, which puts the collective above the individual. Proper (and good) collectivism recognizes the power of community is nothing without individuals.
