It's good to work together, of course, but the problem comes when we are compelled to do so. When we have no choice but to help others, in a manner prescribed by the Government this can lead to problems. It is better that we are not coerced into helping people.
Collectivism is not the problem; coercion is the problem. Coercionists do not allow people to choose how they will spend their lives, whether charitably or not. Coercionism is not a reliable philosophy because we cannot be certain what is the best thing to do and we have no objective process with which to deduce the best course of action, and which troubles to give our attention to. Coercionism fails people because it does not allow them to retain their autonomy.
