Pierre: "I agree that this is not the most consequential or most dangerous example of the Collectivist Speak we hear every day around us." I think collectivist speech is more dangerous than not, because, as Hayek points out, collectivism often culminates in mass murdering despots like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot....et al crushing individualism. A more recent seemingly benign collectivist comment was uttered by the naive NYC Mayor Mamdani who spoke glowingly of the "warmth of collectivism." Some of this deep thinker's collectivist policies; A rent freeze for over 2 million low-income tenants Government-run grocery stores. Raising the minimum wage to $30. Higher taxes on wealthier individual residents. Just moronic!!!!

David: At least, Mamdani knows that he is promoting collectivism. Many people don't, but also promote it by speaking collectivist.
