Collectivist ideas may look good, but every time in history they ended like this:

I can change the word "Collectivist" to "Capitalist" and post the same image! Grin

No you can't - Killing fields, Gulag, KZ are not things companies come up with. Companies want to sell. Killing your customers is bad for business.

The only company that ever killed substantial numbers of people on their own accord was AFAIK the East India Company. And that company grew so big and ugly that it turned into a government. But even they killed orders of magnitude fewer people than collectivists like Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao or the Holy Inquisition.

Tell that to tabacco companies, soft drink companies and others.

You really think selling tobacco, coca based lemonade or pink slime is the moral equivalent to the Killing Fields?
