To paraphase - Collectivist theories are inherently weak, especially the assertion that a society is greater than the individuals in it. Therefore, these theories assert that the society must be safeguarded, which then requires control, which ultimately results in the controlling mind of one individual. The "extraordinary paradox" is that while this collectivist theory initially "extols individual reason," it progresses to the subjugation of all individuals within its power to "a single mastermind." The true individualist, who understands the limitations of any individual reason, and therefore, any one individual, relies, instead, on the interplay of reason among all individuals.
