    Centralised but everyone is expected to value the group over the individual. The property in the Soviet Union belongs to the people albeit managed by the state. Therefore, collectivist.

    Centralisation does not mean either just means individualism or collectivism.

      So you are now claiming that centralization isn’t inherently collectivist?

      The property in the Soviet Union belongs to the people albeit managed by the state.

      So you are now claiming nothing in the Soviet Union was nationalized?

        You can be centralised but not collectivist. See the theory of anarcho-capitalism.

        I’m guessing you’re operating from different sensibility of political philosophy. Define collectivism then we can talk.

          See the theory of anarcho-capitalism.

          I saw it and just looking at it made it fall apart like an upside-down house of cards in a whirlwind. Strange this seems to happen every time anyone looks at (so-called) “anarcho-capitalism” a bit too closely. Have you had better luck with it, perhaps?

            Anarcho-capitalism doesn’t work, yes. What’s your point?

            Have you any luck yet trying to answer me how would you define collectivism?
