What you are supporting is criticism designed to destroy that collective
will - usually because it conflicts with the pecuniary interests of rich
parasites.
That's just emotive silliness and there are two fallacies in your statement
- firstly that a collective will is that important, and secondly that
wealth implies not having worked to achieve it.
Collective will is not important; it's essential. Without it we are doomed to
exist as small groups each dictated to by a leader imposing his will by
violence or fear, each group pussyfooting around others or taking over weaker
groups. Collective will provides the means whereby everyone in a group can
contribute to decisions for the group and, by extension, a way to organise
larger groups peacefully.
And whilst there are certainly rich people who are not parasites I restricted
my comment to those that are both. You really do struggle with the logic of
the English language ...
