What is lifestyle communism?This is why I specified it was lifestyle communism, not political communism.
This one won't fit in a post, so I guess I'll just have to link to it. Check it out. This likewise is from Far Left Land, which I Occupy from time to time.
And now...another bonus picture I'll have to link to because it won't fit. You KNEW I had to reference The Hunger Games SOMEWHERE in here since it just came out on video! This was my favorite pic from the official countdown. It was posted a number of weeks ago.
(On another note, Chris asks: "What's lifestyle communism?" It's what it sounds like: collectivist principles you apply as a personal lifestyle with a group of others, as opposed to trying to make such things legally binding (and thus political). Hippie communes are an example of lifestyle communism. Just to answer that question.)

Ayn Rand on collectivism:~“The Only Path to Tomorrow,” Reader’s Digest, Jan, 1944, 8.Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group—whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called “the common good.”
~Leonard Peikoff (ed.), The Ominous Parallels, 17Collectivism holds that, in human affairs, the collective—society, the community, the nation, the proletariat, the race, etc.—is the unit of reality and the standard of value. On this view, the individual has reality only as part of the group, and value only insofar as he serves it.
