It's what happens when you drink the 'Kool-Aid' of collectivism or statism/socialism/communism - all of which are essentially collectivism defined (names change, essence the same). <br />Over 140 million people were killed by their own socialist governments last century alone (not in war). Leftist and Marxist/Socialist Jim Jones killed almost everyone in Jonestown - 909 people dead. Collectivism (political) is a Statist death cult. <br /><br />Community through individual liberty and individual rights is completely different. Through individual liberty comes strong individuals and thus strong and interdependent communities, though that is not the intention, just the result of the recognition and the implementation (via human action) of the individual's inherent and natural rights.<br /><br />This dichotomy, this thin line between freedom and tyranny, is what dictators have been exploiting for millennia (since time immemorial). And frankly they're doing the same thing today, right here in the USA.
