We need a different word for elective collectivism - call it charity, say, or volunteerism. The difference isn't just a matter of choice, but of the consequences downstream. Forced collectivism inevitably results in a downward wealth spiral, reduced quality of life, then reduced quantity of life - ultimately always resulting in crisis. Humans, possessing free will, were not designed (or evolved, if you will) to be chained to a yoke like a service animal.
In the leftosphere, coercion is conviction. The left rules with an ironic fist.

Again-a great thoughtful piece! Thanks for expanding my knowledge on these different topics!
My pleasure.
