I am anti-collectivism. The fact that that's become indistinguishable from an anti-government position is not my fault.
I too have been labeled "anti-government" by people I have debated on the subject...I usually say that I am against government that acts outside the bounds of the Constitution. In fact I have even been called an anarchist (gasp w/horror)...a term bantered about by a bunch of pantywaist liberals who think being "anti-government" equates to being a mass murderer.
Your response -- being anti-collectivist, and that it's not your fault if that is indistinguishable from anti-government -- is the most succinct and powerful refutation to the anti-government label I have come across. Kudos to you muir_redwoods.
