The bottom line is that we all depend on mutual cooperation to make civilization work. It just works better when it seems voluntary..

That's the market for you, though the part about 'mutual cooperation' might be better thought of as free-form coordination.

I'd love to see your explanation as to how you come to this thought.

"There is no true "Freedom" that comes from individuality in society.

There is no true "Freedom" that comes from individuality in society. However if you look at the true "rugged individualist" who lives off the grid, by the sweat of his own brow building his own cabin, etc… What kind of freedom does he have without modern medical care, dentistry, etc… The bottom line is that we all depend on mutual cooperation to make civilization work. It just works better when it seems voluntary unlike Communism which inefficiently directs the collective.

I think I might be blushing slightly.

As usual, Sam, you use 17 words to speak volumes.

Hence the appeal of Marxism; to reduce the complexity of society to the comprehension of thoughtless idiots.
