Collectivism: I dunno, I guess what I'm driving at with the word is that it is a collective, whether it's big government, small government, a home-owners association or a voluntary bulk purchasing agreement.

Wikipedia says collective is defined as "a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest" and collectivism is "any philosophic, political, religious, economic, or social outlook that emphasizes the interdependence of every human being", so I guess I have overextended the word collectivism here.

Still, there is a collective act in the bulk purchase and that is the part that interests me today.
