Really? Neither one of you has come up with a rational argument so far, so if it's pointless why are you both still here?

Let me ask you this, why is Communism good in China that we support to the tune of $400 billion+ in tax free trade annually? But we embargo Cuba.
Collectivism in any form is bad.. The so called "greater good" idea is a fallacy.

Selfishness is a virtue.

Altruism is a crime.

Of course, the Capitalism Mantra. Except when lining up for handouts.

"The opposite of collectivism is individualism. Individualism declares that each and every man, may live his own life for his own happiness, as an end to himself.", Capitalism.org

But like Obama once mentioned, you didn't build that!
Say like the Bay bridge here in the Bay Area. Or O'Hare in Chicago.

It is the idea of individual liberty that built this country in the first place.

Yes, but individual liberty in the context of the Social Contract, without which civilization is impossible.

Wrong as usual. The very notion of a mythical "social contract" is what formed the USSR and other totalitarian regimes.

No, fact. collectivism, in any form, kills any sense of individualism, but continue being the good little Borg drone for the Left.
