Communism is a label. I would not personally ascribe to any of the statements listed there, but then I don't really consider myself to be a communist either. I chose not to speak up precisely because I don't consider myself to be a communist.

Well, that's true insofar as it goes. Pure collectivism is diametrical to pure individualism. But you could certainly have some kind of mixture of the two.
