1 - A collective approach doesn't have to be a government approach or any approach involving force. True, but in most cases it is. 2 - Yes a collective approach, even a government approach sometimes can be a better solution, but in many cases, the government approach is not better, and that type of approach is taken far too often. It's not often that the 'government approach' is taken when it's not the best solution. But that's the crux of our disagreement, isn't it. 3 - Even if the government approach is a better solution, that doesn't mean it does not reduce freedom. In some situations the benefits may be worth the lost freedom any other costs, but even when that is true it doesn't mean the costs are not real or should just be ignored. It can also increase freedom. If not for public schools, an awful lot of folks couldn't afford to educate their kids.
