Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

How much of US economy is nationalised compared to the Soviet Union?
That's only relevant if you insist on calling the US military "collectivist" - will you be attempting to make such an argument or not?
If you don't, your attempt to conflate nationalization with collectivization falls flat on it's face - so get on with it.
The military can be argued "collectivist". I've never been in the military but many vets say that in the bootcamp they pretty much remove the personality out of you so that you think with the team and follow chain of command. And often, teams are punished based on the mistakes of one person in the group.
And to you, define "collectivism".
So do you and your fellow Rand-cultists normally argue for "collectivist" militaries to be dismantled?
Did I say I agree with Rand?
