Wow somebody took it's time to scan a Pro Communist comic book. The fact that they showed killing of individuals did not made the case convincing at all though, oh well nice try on their part though.

@bannedbyMusloons Actually I wrote this comic book as part of an assignment in in Cross Cultural Perspectives. I was not focusing on Communists by the Deaf community in Canada. I killed the individuals because I felt like that in some of my interactions. Over dramatic? Defiantly. But comic books generally are.

All forms of collectivist culture is pure fascism. It is based on idea of groupthink meaning that noone outside the élite of that country has even the slightest right to influence its government. That is fascism in its purest definition

I would propose that an effective refutation of the supposed dichtomy represented by Individualism and Collectivism lies in the collective nature of Western capitalism, an historically individualistic economic system. Many, if not most business, firms, practices and so on are collectively owned by two or more people, as a parternship or publicly traded company. People regularly accept collective ownership for personal gain, with no idea that they are, apparently, engaging ina a paradox...

Of course it can be a "false dichotomy". Modern day capitalism is a clear mix of both conepts. People argue that Capitalism is individualistic, yet we are expected to work for a higher class in society for the money we need for food, shelter and heat. we are conditioned for efficiency. The group (or individuals depending how u look at it) is being sacrificed for the "economy" or higher class. Nonetheless, collectivism no matter what system you adopt, is pretense to totalitarianism.

[MarxistStudant]

The objective of communism is the freedom of the individual. Marx never defended atrocities such as those on the USSR, and actually opposed to them. "capital punishment cannot be justified..."

In the manifesto itself- "An association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all".

Marx defends individual rights, yet is "collectivist". This whole dichotomy is simply wrong. We just CAN'T separate politics under one criteria.

ok.. so your a individualist, but fascism and marxism are both collectivist for sure. in fact you can easily argue that marxism is a type of fascism for forcing cooperation and labor. individualism would be saying that no one's going to force me or my neighbors to feed the group, we take responsibility to provide for ourselves. if I'm a hunter and give someone my extra food, that person has more time on his hands to cut more wood, providing his extra wood for someone else (expecting not) to use
