What's with the hostility towards collectivism? Some instances of it are perfectly fine...
Definition of collective: a grouping of individuals.
Definition of collectivism: having to do with a collective.
Conclusion
1. Voluntary collectivism is fine. E.g. being part of a baseball team, joining a hippie-commune, etc.
2. The initiation of coercive collectivism is not OK. E.g. being bound by physical force (or threat thereof) to:
a) join a street-gang; b) fund a government national defense force; etc.
3. Coercive collectivism is OK if used in self-defense. E.g. a group of individuals use physical force to subdue a violent thug.
Remember, precision with terms is very important.
