[quote=GUEST11244,470555]The bottom line is simple, their is nothing like putting one's self at the service of the collective associations of men, I do not see human nature gravitating towards pure collectivism, because it is innate in man that the individual will put his interest at the forefront, and of course with exceptions. Allow me to state that this can only be ascertained where individuals are to be choices, the the individual nature of each person usually takes precedence in self preservation. When we talk of soldiers fighting a war in defense of their nation, the first benefit they enjoy is the salary, and hence gives them a contractual duty to defend their land, not for heroism or gallant show of patriotism. Take another example of sex, and please note it has nothing to do with perversion, can some allow others to have sex with them on the basis of collective sexual gratification? My point is simple, there is residual nature, at the bottom line of their instinct in survival, where collectivism is superseded with individualism[/quote]
