Collectivism thus is not to be confused with the fact that individual [[liberty]] allows, and love of others often enjoins, collective action. In other words, 1) civil society, beginning with the civil family, is not, by definition, [[parallel play]], but, rather, is a more-or-less informally coordinated balancing of complementary, and sometimes even conflicting, needs; whereas 2) collectivism is a consistent subsuming of the natural and civil rights of the individual, and thus of the family, to an unintelligently inflexible mere abstraction of those very rights.
