[edit] Christianity, radical feminism

  • Only some Christian sects are collectivistic... Correction: most Christian sects are collectivistic; collective duties form the central thrust. In liberal Christianity, this takes the form of one's obligations to one's "neighbors;" in fundamentalist Christianity, the clan mentality and "holy military service of Christ" type stuff.
  • ..."radical feminism" is a snarl word. To some people, who think the adjective is redundant, it is; to actual radical feminists, it is a philosophy that rejects any view of gender-relations as a facet of some other struggle, but rather the other way around.

I am not a guy nor am I stupid. But it is nice to finally meet another rational, mature, and reasonable person.Talsley (talk) 16:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Ah, yes, that very individualistic philosophy that required its votaries to agree with Ayn Rand in all particulars. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 00:51, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Obscurity

What is the "Ayn Rand Collective", really? Would someone care to clarify? 95.14.200.31 (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

The collective of Ayn Rand. Duh. Atheoi (talk) 03:04, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Phony individualism

Can someone hold my hand and explain this section to me and why it's in the article? It doesn't make any sense to me. Hmmph (talk) 03:35, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

That makes two of us, my sweet babuska. I've removed it. Faced with mysteries dark and vast/statements just seem vain at last. 03:52, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
I think it was trying (and failing) to comment on the pseudo-individualism of capitalist culture in which you can "express" your "individuality" by, say, choosing between Mac or Windows. You are what you buy! Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 04:13, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
