More From Bertrand Russell

The main characteristic of collectivism is that it does not take notice of the individual's will and moral self-determination. in the light of its philosophy the individual is born into a collective and it is "natural" and proper for him to behave as members of this collective are expected to behave. expected by whom? of course, by those individuals to whom, by the mysterious decrees of some mysterious agency, the task of determining the collective will and directing the actions of the collective has been entrusted.

We don't have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. in most people's vocabularies, design means veneer... but to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation.
