Default Re: Are Socialists Really Collectivistic?

Most socialists I've met espouse the whole "Gaia" argument, that argues capitalism forms institutions and man-made innovations into an "unnatural" category that debases some aspect of the ideal individuals' humanity, as opposed to the more "natural" order of things (which only they know, of course). This view probably has arose because "inequality" itself can't be the single justification anymore, as global warming (which I believe is happening BTW) rather than collectivism is politically in vogue.
