Yes I know Unions can be corrupt, thanks.

Marxism does not say "the individual should serve the group", that's just a hastily thrown together expanation of the communist ideoligy. Maxism is the philosophical idea that the development of the means of production is ultimately the key to understanding the development of society. Specificaly that the process is dialectical, and not automatic, involving a contradiction between the demands of economic development and the inevitable lag in human consciousness, ideas, theories, institutions, morality, etc.

Libertarians don't accept the class nature of development, hence "They move away from an economic base and end up with "individualism".

If you want to be simple and say that nazism is the marxism of the right, or capitalism is the opposite of communism, then go aead. I thought that this author was at least trying to be more accurate than that.
