The research for this article illustrates the continuity between terms like Communitarianism, Sustainable Development, and Environmentalism, and shows that they are virtually synonymous with the U.N. Agenda 21 programs such as Local Agenda 21. These are the official policies of the State of Israel.

Traditional Islam, like Christianity and Judiasm are communitarian by choice as a way of life. The Biblical concept of helping the poor and downtrodden best exemplifies that. People everywhere of all cultures basically support such things. The problem arises when the state/government enforces it from the top. Thats the basic reason why communism failed, and precisely why they adopted communitarianism which operates from the bottom by democratic process, which contrary to the American ideal of individualism, forces the group will on every individual member.
Christian principles of giving, in stark contrast, comes voluntarily from the heart of each individual while being under no compulsion to do so.
Communitarianism according to The Plan destroys those traditional principles of "love your neighbor" and instead generate hatred and contempt toward members of the group, combined with the absolute lack of recourse against the group will.
The "outworking", to use Bailey's term, is an appropriation of this "good sumaritan" behavior and capitalizes on its humanitarian appeal to enslave the mass of humanity to their evil scheme. Bush's "faith-based initiative", if implemented would be an example of enforced servitude based on the Christian principles of charity. Genuine charity comes from the heart, whereas enforced servitude comes from the top, and it is not charitable.
This is what needs to be opposed. Communitarianism, not Islam, Christianity, nor Judiasm. Although they all do have their problems, but thats another story.
The New Age Movement is the elephant in the living room, and it is being groomed and nourished by "world aspirants" and "Those with vision", and its known everywhere as Local Agenda 21. Note the usage of the word "vision" in the communitarian programs. For example:The Communitarian Vision
Communitarianism is the implementation of UN Agenda 21, but that in turn is a function of the Satanic New Age Plan as outlined by Theosophist Helen Blavatsky, and most notably, Alice Bailey. Bailey's book, "Externalization of the Hierarchy" published in 1957, but containing information available to "world aspirants" in the mid 1930's (and earlier) outlines The Plan while she fills in the details in many other books such as: The Destiny of the Nations, and A Treatise on Cosmic Fire.
Communitarianism is the New Age dialectic synthesis of the Brave New World which they envision. The synthesis strives to solve all the problems created (by the same movement) during the anti-thesis period and the introduction of chaos, which began primarily with the 1960's counter-culture revolution. It was the thesis (pre-existing established mores) which enabled the counter-culture movement. They used the very individual rights and liberties which they now seek to forever destroy.
As can be seen in the following excerpts, Zionism is a key player in the transformation to communitarianism. This means that Zionism is not an end unto itself as many studies advocate. Rather, it is part of a much larger picture, and that should be the focus of our investigation.
Every problem, every news story, every social unrest, wars, peace movements, social movements, political movements and all the rest over at least the past 70 odd years, should be understood to be the product of agents of the hierarchy whom Alice Bailey called "world aspirants" who perceive the visions to meet the goals of the supernatural demonic hierarchy.

"...because wrestling against flesh and blood is not to us, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenlies. Because of this, take up all of the armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having worked out all things, to stand." ~ Ephesians 6:12,13
"... The strategy I speak of is the new age Zionists’ attempt to control the historical, geographical, and discursive terms of debate that govern this conflict. For example: one, the term “Palestine” used to mean “all of historic Palestine” (presently termed Israel). Now it means the West Bank and Gaza. Two, Israel’s ethnic cleansing of 1948 used to be an undisputed historic fact. This has been recently called into question, and now we have a new generation of holocaust deniers. ..." ~ New Age Zionism and the Discourse War: The Lessons of Joan Peters' From Time Immemorial

Social Paternalism and Communitarianism. Social paternalism, as distinct from state paternalism, reflects the interest that the collective, rather than the state, has in the good of the individual. Social paternalism represents concern, indeed empathy, on the part of the community for the welfare of each individual. Social paternalism reflects the vague concept of a collective mentality, a coming together of committed individuals for a common goal. But this "coming together" is more than just the sum total of the individual constituents and their interests; communities gain in it an ontological status and uniqueness of their own.
Well-functioning communities engender communitarian consciousness: interdependence, mutual concern, common good, and the expectation that individuals subordinate rank egoism and self-interest for the good of all. Social paternalism is not therefore anti-individualistic; it does not entail utter disrespect for autonomy. But some form of social paternalism is necessary to avoid complete anomie. Social paternalism repersonalizes amorphous individuals by making them the object of intense concern by members of the community Regard for the individual reaffirms the individual's self-esteem and individuality
How does social paternalism work? Amitai Etzioni has suggested that the community provides a "moral voice" that allows an individual to gain the perspective necessary for sound decisionmaking. Relying only on their "inner voice," many individuals pay little heed to the collective, social voice that can and should weigh in their considerations. Etzioni's point is not that the inner voice need be egoistic, but that moral deliberation is defective if it is solely a private undertaking. It may even lead to misguided decisions about one's very own self-interest. Communities, on the other hand, can guide individuals toward the right decisions, toward those that accord with their best "inner judgments" rather than with their base impulses. "Hence," writes Etzioni, "the pivotal import of the voice of communities in raising the moral level of their members."21
This is a huge calling for the community. Perhaps it is even presumptuous. But it is precisely what the IPRA is intended to do. It grants power to the collective voice, represented by committee deliberations, to persuade the individual to act in his own best interest. To be sure, persuade is misleading. While Mill allows, if not demands, that we "remonstrate, reason, persuade or entreat" individuals to act in their best interest, we may never compel. Communitarian dialogue pushes a step further. Its purpose is to alter the individual's preferences to better harmonize with the collective voice-not necessarily to advance the collective interest but to reflect the collective assessment of what is best for the individual.
Etzioni, however, avoids the hard question: what if the individual doesn't listen? At this point, some institutionalized form of coercion might be necessary to compel individuals to act in their own interests, as the community defines them. This is precisely what ethics committees are empowered to do. They represent collective interests and give expression to collective concerns. In this way, the individual and the community determine an individual's interest together.
A community imbued with the sort of social paternalism described here surely sounds odd to liberal ears. It might even push farther than some communitarians would like. But only those communities that are eventually willing to allow the public voice to supersede the private and essentially sacrifice individual interests to the collective's concern for the same individual are entitled to be called communitarian. The community is intrusive; it has no compunction about forcefully putting aside civil liberties in the name of an individual's welfare. But understood as coming from the collective on behalf of the individual, rather than from the government on behalf of the state, it is a gentler form of paternalism, more benign, less threatening, more likely to be understood and accepted.

Autonomy and paternalism in communitarian society: Patient rights in Israel
Looks like ones own medical desires will be met provided they concide with the collective will. This is like an old 1950's song:
"Are you going to go peacefully,
Or do we have to come and get you?
I went peacefully after they came and got me.
"Zionism is a revolution against these trends in the Jewish people, which enabled the Jews to accommodate as individuals even to the harshest realities of Exile in situations of almost total powerlessness, ... Zionism is an attempt to bring back into Jewish life the supremacy of the public, communitarian, and social aspects at the expense of personal ease, bourgeois comfort, and good life of the individual.s" ~ Zionism as a Permanent Revolution
"Agranat’s American origins gave him a different orientation than the Zionists from Eastern Europe who led that movement for national liberation. Though committed to democracy, the socialist-labor Zionists who established Israel had a collectivist-communitarian vision of both state and society. Agranat embued his Zionism with a strong individualistic, rights-oriented conception of democracy. Political leaders like David Ben Gurion saw little need for a written constitution to restrain the actions of an electorally accountable Knesset (parliament) and Government (cabinet), and had little patience with an independent judiciary limiting their power and protecting individual rights. Agranat never lost an American democrat’s belief in constitutionalism (limited government) and a judicially protected rule of law.
"Unlike most new nations, Israel did not adopt a written constitution...

"... Israel today is plainly a democracy whose independent judiciary vigorously protects individual rights in most areas. But not all. And Lava is careful to point out that this, too, is part of the Agranat legacy. He balanced the competing interests within a Zionist narrative, which held that a Jewish State was absolutely necessary for the resolution of "the Jewish Problem." Challenges to Israel’s security would outweigh civil liberty claims." ~ CHIEF JUSTICE SIMON AGRANAT AND THE ZIONIST CENTURY
This cry is more than a plea to return to the land. This is a call to reevaluate your personal life and your environment. This is a call for purifying, electrifying revolution.
"The Zionist revolution defied the twentieth-century trend toward individualism and the Jewish trend toward sectarianism. Zionism was Communitarian, and it sought to resurrect a more integrated, authentic Judaism and Jew. In the second decade of the twentieth century, Jacob Klatzkin rejected the Enlightenment's ideological hairsplitting. "To be a Jew means the acceptance of neither a religious nor an ethical creed," he insisted, dismissing the false choices we still use to distort Judaism. "We are neither a denomination nor a school of thought, but members of one family, bearers of a common history." And it is no coincidence that Hatikvah, the national anthem, THE one, ancient enduring Hope, like so many Jewish prayers, speaks of abstractions as singular, but the people as collective: It is THE Jewish spirit that still sings and it is THE eyes that seek out Zion, but "OUR" hope of two thousand years, to be a free nation in OUR Land.
"...Zionism is best remembered for repudiating Judaism's religious dimension. At its most extreme it offered a mirror image of the Napoleon Sanhedrin solution and the approach of some Reformers, stripping away everything but the national identity. For some Zionists, rather than being Frenchmen or Englishmen or Russians of the Mosaic persuasion, the goal was to be Jews of the European persuasion." ~ Mugged by Modernity
"What was the mission of Christianity in an ideological society? In ecumenical circles this question had already been discussed with respect to the still-young communist experiment in the Soviet Union. Both communism and National Socialism claimed many of the prerogatives of religion and made many of the same promises -- from the creation of a "new man" to the fulfillment of many of the communitarian ideals found in religion.". ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ecumenical Vision
"...This is the work of Martin Buber the political activist, journalist, and theorist, of the Buber who lived an enduring commitment to Zionism, to Jewish-Arab reconciliation and world peace, to communitarian socialism, and to the pioneering cooperative movement in Eretz Yisrael.
...
...
"The cardinal principles of attentiveness to the concrete and daily redrawing of the line of demarcation provided the foundation for Buber's communitarian socialism as well as his quest for Arab-Jewish reconciliation. For Buber, the only genuinely topical socialism was that which Marxists had branded as "utopian" - a socialism which seeks to restructure society from the bottom up by creating cells of functioning organic community, gradually building from these a community of communities, and finally, when a federation of communal units has been achieved, assuming economic and political leadership in the largely reconstituted society." ~ Martin Buber, The Politics of Dialogue
The "federation of communal units" and a " largely reconstituted society" will be the final dialectical synthesis of the dreamy eyed utopian New Age society, which Aldus Huxley called The Brave New World.
