The IQ of any collectivist member is divisibly determined by the total membership of the collective.
The larger the collective, the dumber is each member. (Think Mao's China)
As IQ is reduced, there is more demand for force and fraud, as a use and suppressor, ultimating in "the manipulation of the fears".
The Chinese execute State embezzlers, but that deterrency has been proven to be ambiguously insufficient. In a collectivist society one needs to "network" to succeed. And, as Dylan once said, "to live outside the law, you must be honest".
The Catholic Church installed the dark ages as it smothered enlightenment so as realizing the need to rename Satan to Lucifer. Elucidators were tortured or put under house arrest, like as was, Galileo Galilei.
Libertarians believe in the competition or collusion of the collectives, while liberals always attack even the concept of "the individual". The ACLU is a false front for protecting minority rights. They protect corporate rights. Even the Von Mises Group hates the idea of an individual holding a patent right. Wouldn't you know it, Von Mises was a bleeding Euro-Socialist.
Liberals and other corporatists are just a bunch of psycoholic sociopaths.
