What do you think is more important : the individual or the collective?

You’ve lost me. I took funding of public housing as an example of where I may disagree with some collectivists. That money doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, or whatever you are rambling about doesn’t seem very relevant.

Nothing I have written is unclear or difficult to comprehend. You are just getting overly defensive and accusing me of “rambling” because you have no response to it, as you wanted me to play along with your misrepresentation, and I am not.

It’s not unclear or difficult to comprehend; what is unclear is why it’s relevant here.

Are you not “private power”?

I don’t control anything in society.

Surely you can control yourself. But I’m certain enough that you and I, as regular people and individuals, fall within the private distinction. By defending yours and my individual rights I do so in opposition to state rights, not the other way around.

To cut through it all and to get down to the point. I don’t think it’s such thing as being a 100% collectivist or a 100% individualist. Rather, like most things, there is a spectrum. Their is way where you can be selfish to the point where no one is oppressed, like wise you can be a collectivist yet not spread yourself thin. Look up “The Spectrum Policy.”
