	Collectivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collectivists focus on community and society, and seek to give priority to group goals over individual goals.
		Some consider an early example of collectivist political philosophy to be Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Social Contract, which maintains that human society is organized along the lines of an implicit contract between members of society, and that the terms of this contract (e.g.
		Some collectivists apply this principle only to the means of production, while others argue that all valued commodities should be regarded as public goods and placed under public ownership.

	CULTURAL ISSUES IN MEDIATION: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INDIVIDUALIST AND COLLECTIVIST PARADIGMS
		Collectivists' resistance to mediation, as it is practiced in the United States, is likely to be most pronounced when the other disputants are current or former ingroup members or persons with whom the collectivists wish to maintain or re-establish relationships.
		Among collectivists, there tends to be less of a concern about professional credentials and impartiality, but more of a concern that the mediator be an insider, someone who knows the parties or at least the context of their dispute.
		Collectivists, on the other hand, may view members of their ingroup who are not directly involved as parties to a dispute.

	THE CONQUEST OF BREAD: CHAPTER 13 -- The Collectivist Wages System
		Most collectivists, true to the distinction laid down by middle-class economists (and by Marx) between qualified work and simple work, tell us, moreover, that qualified or professional work must be paid a certain quantity more than simple work.
		Collectivists begin by proclaiming a revolutionary principle--the abolition of private property--then they deny it no sooner than proclaimed by upholding an organization of production and consumption that originated in private property.
		That is why some collectivists, understanding the impossibility of maintaining a scale of wages in a society inspired by the breath of the Revolution, hasten to proclaim equality of wage.

		The collectivists do not mean by the term “equality” the individualistic principle that all individuals possess the same legal rights and are to be treated identically by the law.
		The collectivists mean that all are equal in an absolute sense—that no individual is or should be better than the crowd, that no one possesses greater talent than others or greater intelligence or greater virtue.
		The collectivists, in their attempt to create universal slavery, corrupt the language—the very ideas and terms with which persons think—so as to obliterate all thoughts that clash with their push for blind obedience.

	TRUST FORMATION IN COLLECTIVIST AND INDIVIDUALIST SOCIETIES
		Both collectivists and individualists will value integrity, but their definition may be different since integrity involves adherence to a set of mutually acceptable principles (Mayer et al, 1995), which may differ across cultures.
		The description of collectivists' relations with other people are often restricted to their relationships with members of their in-groups.
		A second recurring theme is that collectivists will base trusting attitudes on societal norms, values, and opinions more than individualists, who rely more on their own beliefs and experiences.

		Collectivist ideologies are structured along tyrannical lines, although they take great pains to hide the tyranny at least initially.
		Was it a “collectivist ideology?” Some authors, for example Thomas Cahill in “Desire of the Everlasting Hills” have described the early Christians as almost communist in their approach to wealth and posessions.

	The American Collectivist Myth: Its Roots, Its Results, Its Downfall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The American collectivist myth holds that human well-being is best achieved by subordinating the free individual to the planned social collectivity within ever larger and more intricately com-plex organizational systems.
		These collectivist ideas spread from a few seminal thinkers, to the second- and third--hand purveyors of ideas inside and outside the academy, reaching the professors, the secondary and elementary school teachers, the ministers, the working press-the word wielders.
		Some of the collectivist myth was already forming before the turn of the century, as for example in the work of Lester Ward.

	THE LEFT-WING BILLIONAIRE COLLECTIVIST PIGS
		The corporate collectivist ideal, the new criterion, is nothing more or less than a historical elite attempting to impose its order or solutions on society and government.
		Collectivists are gladdened as Western society is reconfigured into oppressor and victim classes, with the help of the modern Marxist Antonio Gramsci, who with a few others from the Frankfurt School of Social Theory gave us political correctness, identity politics, non-assimilation of immigrants and mediocre education that does not support a Western-oriented American identity.
		Many of their actions and support of divergent collectivist causes such as eugenics, racial theory and population control represent a major failure in moral principles.

	The Collectivist Tradition
		The collectivists shared a number of ideas with the followers of Proudhon in the International, in particular the concepts of workers self-management of industry and economic federalism.
		The collectivists sought to ameliorate this to a certain extent by giving the investment arm of the communes, the Banks of Exchange, a more activist role in economic planning, and by putting an income floor under all workers by providing free housing, food, and public services.
		The main contribution of the collectivists to anarchist economics was their attempt to anticipate many of the problems which would be encountered during the revolutionary transition from capitalism to stateless communism, and their emphasis on the need for finding a balance between ultimate goals and day-to-day realities.

	Buchanan and Thirlby, L.S.E. Essays on Cost, Wiseman, Uncertainty, costs, and collectivist economic planning: Library ...
		a liberal collectivist economy could not only effect an efficient distribution of resources, but could do so more quickly and accurately than a market economy, because a broader survey of the data relevant to his decisions could be made available to each collectivist manager.
		The problem is of greater importance in a liberal collectivist economy: it follows from the nature of the opportunity-cost problem that an instruction to equate marginal money cost and money price in conditions of uncertainty gives no clear guidance to collectivist managers as to their productive behaviour.
		Presumably they would have to try to judge whether the applicant was capable of equating marginal cost and marginal revenue, although, once the funds have been granted and used, those granting them become dependent upon the applicants' view as to whether this has been done or not.

	Statistics: A Vehicle for Collectivist Mischief: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
		For collectivists, not only is the individual identified by his group, but so is his behavior.
		In this world, the collective can be “better off” or “worse off” even if no individual in it is. Since income equality is “good” in the eyes of the collectivist, a society where everyone is equally poor is better than one where everyone is unequally richer.
		Of course, even if the underlying process is right from each individual’s perspective, collectivists will still claim that any statistics that show inequality or disproportionality prove that something is wrong.

	12-04-05: When and How Did the Liberalism of Jefferson Become Collectivist and Marxist? by Norman Scott Mills
		We have to beware of, and be vigilant against, the corrupting nature of power which leads to its abuses, whether it's by one or the majority, using the instruments of government toward oppression, and totalitarian government.
		The collectivist socialist-leaning left is judgmental when it blames people collectively, a collective corporation, a collective government, a collective logging industry, a collective National Rifle Association, a collective capitalism, and a collective race, culture or society, as long as it's American.
		On the collectivist socialist leaning left, every culture is equal to every other culture, except for American culture, society, and/or government, which is blamed, condemned and criticized for everything, because we are not equal; we're the richest, most powerful nation on Earth.

	Collectivist Schemes
		Another example of collectivist folly is the legislation passed by Congress that seeks to help all businesses by reducing their costs.
		If they seek instead to increase the disposable incomes of all rich people in a way that does not directly help to eliminate unemployment, then they reveal themselves to be deluded fools who end up victimizing themselves as well as others through their ineptitude.
		It certainly is not difficult to think of more examples of these kinds of collectivist political attempts by various groups to obtain 'easy enrichment' for themselves (their group).

	Email as a learning technology in the South Pacific: An evaluation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		For example Chinese students from a collectivist culture have been found by some studies to adopt a rote learning approach, which is seen by their western individualist teachers as inferior (Samuelowicz, 1987).
		To further explore the relationship between students’ culture (within the collectivist dimension), and use of email, students were asked how often they sent and received email from lecturers; and how often they sent email to their friends.
		The USP study suggested that collectivist students were more likely to use email to interact socially with their peers, than they were to use it for contacting their lecturers.

	Chapter Eleven, COLLECTIVIST-ANARCHISM
		Bakuninism flourished in the period between 1848 and 1871, that is, in the period between the great failure of the petty bourgeoisie, as a mass, to conquer power, and the first victory of the immature proletariat of France in taking and holding power in the Paris Commune.
		While it was true that the countryside had to be guided by the towns, and the towns by Paris, the immature proletariat of Paris showed by its program that it had not as yet fully appreciated the necessity of finding allies in the countryside under penalty of defeat.
		To the Bakuninists, it illustrated the necessity for the coup d'etat and insurrection.

		Having demonstrated your faulty premise; that the pursuit of some goals that could be construed as individualist precludes a collectivist ideology let’s move on.
		I’ve already demonstrated that his argument is not a strawman, and that you have provided nothing in the way of argument that shows it is. That the communist appropriated the term progressive in the 30’s is pretty well established.
		That is not to say that early progressives were not collectivist, but they were not Marxist by and large.

		Especially, ads depicting friends in collectivist way can be most effective to adults whereas the effects of ads with parents, related contexts could vary depending on the culture.

	Collectivist Utopias by Butler Shaffer
		All that has ever been required has been a willingness of people to huddle in fear, expecting the state to protect them from the exercise of personal responsibility and control over their own lives.
		To accomplish such ends, the individual need only give up the self-ownership that was long ago ceded to a collectivist ideology.
		Managers of the collectivist utopia are never without fear-objects with which to petrify people.
