Capitalism: political system based on the recognition of the Rights of the Individual. The state only occupies itself with the business of the administration of the Means of Defense of the Rights of the Individual. The only government branches are security forces, both internal and external and the Courts of Justice. Under Capitalism an Individual does not have to sacrifice himself to others nor can he sacrifice others to himself. Capitalism has never been implemented in practice, as far as I know. The early United States of America is the closest example of a mixed regime that came close to implementing Capitalism. The United States of America could be defined as the least socialist of all socialist countries.
Collectivism: political system based in the use of force with no recognition of the Rights of the Individual. If I can bash you skull in then I’m the government until somebody comes along that can bash my skull in, then THEY are the government. Collectivism is the human attempt at governing humans as if they were chimpanzees, by brute force. All forms of collectivism, socialism, marxism, cooperativism, oligarchy, et.al. go to great lengths to disguise themselves as “friends of the poor” and the “working class” and fill tons of paper with explanations of why collectivism is good “for the masses”. It has never worked. It can’t work. It never will. After the many years of communist rule in the former USSR, a placard was seen in Red Square that simply read: “Workers of the World: forgive us!” Collectivism considers the Individual as a sacrificial animal to the interest of others. In reality all sacrifices end up benefiting the oligarchs circumstantially in power.
Communism: A collectivist system of government supposedly based on the state ownership of all means of production for the purpose of egalitarian distribution of the produce. In practice all communist systems are oligarchies i.e. the USSR, Cuba, North Korea, and the end goal of the European Union. It requires absolute obedience to the absolute authority of the state with zero individual freedom. The government exercises total control over the citizenry in all aspects of life. All peoples are slaves of the state. And of course, all communist regimes are just huge jails otherwise they would empty of people that would leave for other places in search for Freedom leaving the oligarchs to starve.
Cooperativism: collectivism in a very early stage. Cooperativists introduce collectivism into otherwise mixed regimes for the purpose of sneaking collectivist slavery into the system by deception and miss-education. The ACORN organization in America is an example of this action.
Fascism: collectivism.
Laissez Faire: same as Capitalism.
Marxism: collectivism.
Mixed regime / economy: collectivism that has not yet turned the screws all the way into the Rights of the Individual. In mixed systems some Individual Rights are supposedly recognized although they are ALWAYS on a slippery slope towards more collectivism and less Freedom. All mixed systems end up in pure collectivism unless their march towards slavery is checked and reversed. I.e. the United States of America before the communist take over by the failed hussein administration.
National Socialism: collectivism.
Oligarchy: Collectivism. I.e. the nobility of the European Dark Ages and all the rest of the communist regimes. All communist regimes are forms of oligarchy. In modern times the attempted take over of the United States of America by socialist “democrats” that long to establish the collectivist control of the country subject to the political oligarchy of the Democratic party.
Socialism: collectivism.
Theocracy: collectivism supposedly according to religious tenets. I.e. Saudi Arabia, Europe in the Dark Ages. The religious flavor is just a matter of color. Theocracy is just another form of collectivism.
Worker’s democracy: collectivism.
