Please, answer the simple question. I refuse to go by the collective will and there could be no violence involved. What happens next?
I cannot believe that you went on insulting large groups of people while being unable to answer a simple 6 words question.
P.S. I speak relatively fluent Latin, so the etymology play made me chuckle a bit.

you will become pariah until you leave or change your mind?

If Pariah means the collectivist people not trading or communicating with you and no violence then I am OK with that.
Now, could you explain how this is collectivism and not voluntaryism?

If you define collectivism is group activity enforced by violence vs voluntarism being group activity not enforced by violence then this entire discussion is a word game and a waste of time.

You can have voluntary collectivism. This is where everyone works to find agreement with the group as a matter of course, but only proceeds if that agreement is found. You might find this kind of management in a collectively owned business for example.
As a native English speaker myself, I urge you to get into etymology and understand socius and collective and community and thereby inoculate yourself against a weird strain of anti logic parading as American political discourse and often used by folks who know better sponsored by the federalist society and Cato institute and such… typically for lowbrow crowd appeal.
No society, by definition, is free from a collective aspect.
