    I mean, one look at Japanese work culture should be all demonstration you need for that.

    I like the work culture in the Netherlands, on the whole, there's a focus on work/life balance. I get to spend a day per week with my kids and I only lose 30% of the pay of that day.

    After I spend those days, which are 45 total, I can still spend a day in the week with my kid, unpaid. But my boss cannot block me from doing that and needs to keep my 40 hour contract intact for when I want to resume my full-time work.

    Also I don't actually lose 20% of my pay, but due to government help I lose about 12% doing this unpaid day.

    It is. It replaces one's own choices with a collective's common "choice", and that is usually substituted with most loud and ambitious people's choice from inside the collective, or the voices that those from outside prefer to hear from it. Bad all around.

    Mutual aid and brotherhood are not collectivism. The philosophy that a group of individuals can be regarded as a subject is, possibly without regard for the comprising individuals.

    Definitely. Even some abstract ideologies do.

    Say, in ancap finite resources not created by humans (territory, numbers, technologies) are treated as collective property ideally, but since it's impossible to create anything without them, as private property when mixed with labor. Which means that unused territory belongs to a person who claims it and uses it for something.
