I've had bad group members in multiple class projects. Bad roommates in college that take food and don't pay their rent. I've seen people break shared resources and lie when called out. I've had dinner guests order more expensive menu items when they know the bill is getting split.
It has influenced my opinions on collectivism substantially.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoVoluntary association and options are the cornerstone of any collective endeavor. Collective with these features can be great. A marriage can be a great example of collective. A forced marriage, less so.
- candiodari 3y agoIf you have voluntary association, you will have both the "poor" and the "billionnaire". People whom nobody wants to associate with, and it has severe negative consequences for their living conditions. AND people who refuse to associate with others to some degree, but do so well for themselves they are the envy of others. Voluntary collectivist living exists and is no problem and requires no change at all to our current system. The whole point of the collectivism being advocated here is to avoid both groups. And, of course, only forced marriages will ever do that.
