You are mistaking the benefits of rationally pooling individual effort with the evil of collectivism. My definition of living properly includes not having to slave away for people who believe in collectivism. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Have you ever studied the way of life of Native American tribes in North America? They were doing just fine without property rights, and as a group were among the healthiest and most content people I have ever read about. However, their overall lack of disease turned out to be their downfall. They were essentially exterminated by biological attack and had no bioweapons of their own.

I am no expert on government systems in history, but if you are I would like to hear your account of the inherent flaws of Native North American societies.
