That is actually not true. The ant colony may look like a collectivist slave camp, but scientists have studied them and realized that all ants have individual choices and are not working together beause they are forced to, but because it is optimal for all of them. In simple words, they are more like a collaborational society, rather than a slave society. Look it up for yourself.

No... I was saying that ants have a workforce of Aphids. Kind of like farming. But only a specific species does this. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2009/09/26/ants-herd-aphids-with-tranquilisers-in-their-footsteps/#.V-JJ2D4rLpQ
Then when looking for this I found this "Slave Making Ant"

Well then I guess I am wrong. Looks like collectivism still leads to slavery, in any species, who would have thought?
