With respect to 133, collectivist is a term of art, that is, it has a certain meaning that you nor I can impose upon it, unless you are using some language other than English, BTW, I speak English and use it properly as I trust you wish to. The meaning per Webster's New World Dictionary is as follows: An advocate of collectivism. Collectivism is defined as; The ownership and control of the means of production by the people as a whole; socialism.
I want you to recognize that I spent several minutes of my time, expensive for my clients, for you, to educate you in the proper use of the English language and the development of thoughts thereof. I suspect you will be indebted to me for such an education.
You said WE. You are only one person, hence it does not follow to use the plural. The question is why did a singular individual use the plural form of the subjective pronoun?
You have a very high opinion of yourself - ridiculously so. Anyone on this thread is embarrassed for you with respect to your self-aggrandizement.

So who is this "we" group you speak for and what is it about? Are you a tax accountant, a lawyer, a politician, perhaps an IRS bureaucrat -- an automaton?133

Blah blah blah... You respond like a politician -- a member of which political cult, I wonder. Just answer the question: for which group of "we" members do you speak on behalf of?
