COPS, like every other program coming down via the UN Declaration at Rio, is based in the theory of communitarianism. Promoted as the sensible solution to the conflicts posed by too many individual rights and not enough community rights, Communitarians insist there must be a new effort to “shore up the moral, social and political environment.” They “balance” the rights of individuals against the health and safety of the community at large. Amitai Etzioni has told us numerous times that individual rights can only be protected by taking some away.

The founder of the Communitarian Network was praised by both Bill and Hillary Clinton as an inspiration and for helping to achieve a new communitarian vision for the country. (Bill Clinton told Americans about the communitarian ideology twice during the latter part of Obama’s campaign; Hillary accused Iowans of not being communitarian enough.)

The communitarian Third Way and it’s theory of Reinvented Government has yet to prove itself as a superior theory to the founding American legal (and proven successful) principles for protecting individuals from the community. It has, on the other hand, proven itself to be a potential problem of global proportions. One can only imagine what kinds of crimes COMPASS would predict if we put in the data about the COPS.

A kibbutz (Hebrew: קיבוץ, קִבּוּץ, lit. "gathering, clustering"; plural kibbutzim) is a collective community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. Today, farming has been partly supplanted by other economic branches, including industrial plants and high-tech enterprises.^[1] Kibbutzim began as utopian communities, a combination of socialism and Zionism. In recent decades, some kibbutzim have been privatized and changes have been made in the communal lifestyle. A member of a kibbutz is called a kibbutznik (Hebrew: קִבּוּצְנִיק‎‎).

In 2010, there were 270 kibbutzim in Israel.

The greater issue with Communism is making it enforced on those who do not necessarily have the same values as the "Collective"

"Kibbutz members were not classic Marxists though their system partially resembled Communism."

Collectivism on a large scale creates a system which tends to be authoritarian or totalitarian in nature.

"In Communist systems collectivist economics are carried to their furthest extreme, with a minimum of private ownership and a maximum of planned economy."^[4]"

The question is should we force people to be part of "society"?

"George Orwell, a dedicated democratic socialist,^[28] believed that collectivism resulted in the empowerment of a minority of individuals that led to further oppression of the majority of the population in the name of some ideal such as freedom.

It cannot be said too often - at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough - that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of.^[29]

Yet in the subsequent sentence he also warns of the tyranny of private ownership over the means of production:

... that a return to 'free' competition means for the great mass of people a tyranny probably worse, because more irresponsible, than that of the state.^[29]

Marxists criticize this use of the term "collectivism," on the grounds that all societies are based on class interests and therefore all societies could be considered "collectivist." The liberal ideal of the free individual is seen from a Marxist perspective as a smokescreen for the collective interests of the capitalist class.^{[citation needed]} Social anarchists argue that "individualism" is a front for the interests of the upper class. As anarchist Emma Goldman wrote:

'rugged individualism'... is only a masked attempt to repress and defeat the individual and his individuality. So-called Individualism is the social and economic laissez-faire: the exploitation of the masses by the [ruling] classes by means of legal trickery, spiritual debasement and systematic indoctrination of the servile spirit ... That corrupt and perverse 'individualism' is the straitjacket of individuality. ... [It] has inevitably resulted in the greatest modern slavery, the crassest class distinctions driving millions to the breadline. 'Rugged individualism' has meant all the 'individualism' for the masters, while the people are regimented into a slave caste to serve a handful of self-seeking 'supermen.' ... Their 'rugged individualism' is simply one of the many pretenses the ruling class makes to mask unbridled business and political extortion.^[30]

In response to criticism made by various pro-capitalist groups that claim that public ownership or common ownership of the means of production is a form of collectivism, socialists maintain that common ownership over productive assets does not infringe upon the individual, but is instead a liberating force that transcends the false dichotomy of individualism and collectivism.^[31] Socialists maintain that these critiques conflate the concept of private property in the means of production with personal possessions and individual production."

Whatever the system, there will always be those that abuse the power granted to them by the system. What we do know is that communism has moved beyond the scope of Marx, the worst parts of Capitalism and Communism are being fused, that relatively new form is communitarianism.

Here is what Marx.org has to say about communitarianism.

"Communitarianism

Communitarianism is the social/political current which emphasises the strengthening and importance of community or neighbourhood — a kind of property-owners’ collectivism.

In bourgeois society, the values of Liberalism, are the dominant values: individualism (autonomy) and democracy (bourgeois right). Liberalism is by no means the only ethical system of bourgeois society however, and communitarianism, whose central values are community and social equality, is an important counter to liberalism.

Although communitarianism de-emphasises social class as a potentially divisive factor in building community, where it takes root in working-class neighbourhoods, communitarianism is an important ally of socialism. The neighbourhood movements of the 1960s/70s in the US, the Reclaim the Streets movements of the 1980/90s, and the Save Our Suburbs movement in Australia are examples of communitarianism."

Ultimately all of this boils down to economics. Economics is the method of enslavement, It acts as the chains that bind individuals to society and society to the state. The sound of the word itself is slavish. ECHO-nomics.

echo

noun

1. Repetition of sound via reflection from a surface: repercussion, reverberation. See sounds
2. Imitative reproduction, as of the style of another: imitation, reflection, reflex, repetition. See same
3. One who mindlessly imitates another: imitator, mimic, parrot. See same

And like Hitler, Marx believed in a "New Man"

It works when people have the same values. That is why ECHO-nomics is the major binding force. There are various conflicts when people do not share the same values. One prime example is that of a National Health Care system. Who decides what health care modality an individual utilizes? If a person decides to take toxic vaccines because that is what they value, should individuals that know better have to be burdened by such decisions, and vice versa?

Will the state enforce its will through terror and imprisonment for those whose values differ?

The Authoritarian nature of the systems in place would like to compose the lives of individuals to fit the narrative. The two main components which bind all of mankind together could be determined as EC(h)O-nomics and EC(h)O-logy.

"Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, "management of a household, administration") from οἶκος (oikos, "house") + νόμος (nomos, "custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the house(hold)".^[1] Political economy was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the latter 19th century suggested 'economics' as a shorter term for 'economic science' that also avoided a narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to 'mathematics', 'ethics', and so forth.^[2]"

Ecology (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment. Variables of interest to ecologists include the composition, distribution, amount (biomass), number, and changing states of organisms within and among ecosystems. Ecosystems are hierarchical systems that are organized into a graded series of regularly interacting and semi-independent parts (e.g., species) that aggregate into higher orders of complex integrated wholes (e.g., communities). Ecosystems are sustained by the biodiversity within them. Biodiversity is the full-scale of life and its processes, including genes, species and ecosystems forming lineages that integrate into a complex and regenerative spatial arrangement of types, forms, and interactions. Ecosystems create biophysical feedback mechanisms between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components of the planet. These feedback loops regulate and sustain local communities, continental climate systems, and global biogeochemical cycles.

By controlling these two mechanisms, EC(h)O-slavery is achieved. Though it is merely an echo of the honest slavery of the past, its implications are no different, except rhetorically. The link (binding) is undeniable in realistic terms. Ultimately the difference between authority wielding heirarchical systems is who is accountable and how is their leadership implemented. The ends to the means are the same...control of "society".

Being part of "society" is compulsory. And individual choice while under leadership an illusion, except when granted by the said authority.

What exactly are the shared values of communism? What are the shared values of capitalism?

"Anarcho-capitalists

• Economist Murray Rothbard "we must first decide what the meaning of the term 'capitalism' really is. Unfortunately, the term 'capitalism' was coined by its greatest and most famous enemy, Karl Marx. We really can't rely upon him for correct and subtle usage. And, in fact, what Marx and later writers have done is to lump together two extremely different and even contradictory concepts and actions under the same portmanteau term. These two contradictory concepts are what I would call 'free-market capitalism' on the one hand, and 'state capitalism' on the other. The difference between free-market capitalism and state capitalism is precisely the difference between, on the one hand, peaceful, voluntary exchange, and on the other, violent expropriation."
