Funny, the word "collectivism" rarely pops up here.
I prefer "communism", myself, anymore. It's more descriptive of the
behavior, it's etymologically true, and it gets people's attention.
Someday, maybe, in an attempt to "reclaim" the language, I should
bash out a crypto-communist (in the Myra Breckenridge sense...) to
plain old American English glossary, viz:
Communist English
- -------- ---------
"Capitalism" Economics
"Socialist" Communist
"Progressive" Communist
"Liberal" (modern usage) Communist
"Social" <anything> Communist <anything>
<anything> |"Democrat" | <anything> Communist
"Libertarian" Liberal (original usage)
"Reactionary" Liberal (original usage)
"Fascist" Liberal (original usage)
"Republican" Liberal (original usage)
...and so on...
Cheers,
RAH
