    The logic is this: Collectivism is when you have to prioritize the state over your own well-being. This describes both Nazi Germany and the USSR. Therefore Nazism and USSR are collectivist and that is why they were so bad.

    This is the vibes based ideology of liberalism.

      Churches are collectivist when they feed the poor and raise money for flood victims. Cults are collectivist when they all drink poisoned Koolaid together.

      These are clearly the same thing.
