| Message | So you seek to protect individual rights but also try to stop the populace freely engaging in collectivism? Surely these two views are mutually exclusive! |

| Message | No. The populace is free to enage in collectivism and doesn't need the government to do this. Government takes its funding by force in the form of taxation. It is immoral for collectivists to force individualists to fund what the collectivists want via state force. If you want to engage in collectvism it should be done via voluntary interaction by like minded persons without state involvement. |
