Collectivism: A Self-Renewing Concept

[Chef Ramsay]

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The lesson to be learned is that collectivism is a self-renewing disease for which there is no antidote. Typically, it ends not with the realisation that it is a lie, but with the expiration of the free-market system on which it feeds. As much as collectivists decry the free-market system, it is the host upon which the collectivist parasite lives.

As long as those who create wealth, jobs, and production remain in a country that has caught the collectivist disease, they provide the lifeblood to the collectivist system and ensure that it can continue.

The great fallacy amongst free-marketers is, “Maybe it will turn around. Maybe people will wake up.” Historically, this has not been the case.

That evil Dagny Taggart!  She kept playing the game long after all the other smart people had gone on strike.

when a job is actually done in collectivity, of course, the job will be completed more quickly, collectivity has the added value of cooperation to increase the productivity of work, but sometimes one must have a weak point, weak point of the collectivity is the issue of trust, the higher the sense of confidence to others, the higher the level of the collectivity of a society, the lower the level of trust to others it will be the lower level of the collectivity of a community, hopefully this collectivity level can add a sense of public trust in their representatives in parliament ...

I can't fully understand what you're trying to say, but I don't think the "collectivity" you're referring to in your response is the kind of collectivism OP was talking about. You seem to be referring to multiple people working on a project, where OP I think is talking about economic collectivism, where you receive money for work others do because that's "fair."

True, "collectivism" in English usually is derogatory, referring to communist or socialist or fascist styles of stamping out individual thought, individual wealth and such.
