I just got out of an elongated argument with a state-imposed collectivist on the subject matter of gun rights. Being a staunch libertarian, I defended my views and he defended his. The thing that made me laugh my a** off is that he tried to demoralize me by calling me a mental ward patient and saying that I have no idea on how my own country operates.(mind you, he lives in the same country.) While I was being the mature one, not calling him any names or trying to demoralize him like he did to me.

I must ask: Are all state-imposed collectivists like this?
State-imposed collectivist? Do those even exist outside of North Korea?

Yeah, China.

But do you live in China? How would he be imposed upon you?

His belief are close to those of Joseph Stalin, which in turn makes him a state-imposed collectivist thinker. That's just his train of thought. My views are that of voluntary neo-liberalism.

So it's just some neologism for totalitarian socialism that is neither shorter, more interesting or even grammatically correct.

Are all people of a group the same? No, but I get the sneaking suspicion you already new that.
I think 1 is a big enough sample size to determine that they are all the same. 3nodding
Voluntary neoliberalism and state-imposed collectivism?

So, you're in support of a society with a small elite and a huge population of poor people, and dude's in support of a society with a small elite and a huge population of poor people.

What's the difference, again?

Yes they have a subjective understanding of sanity and therefore can justify any use of re rationalizing.
