Sure. Sharing risk by choice (insurance) is a gateway drug to sharing risk by force (socialism). The steps to the collective:

• offer voluntary risk mitigation (property insurances, russia)

• mandate it thru legislation (car insurances, india)

• nationalize it (obamacare, US, middle east)

• constitutionalize it (socialisms, europe)

• enforce it via unaccountable NGOs or the like (africa, canada, mexico, other americas)

• punish opt-out (gulags, australia, DC)

• kill non-participants (communisms, national socialisms, china, ukraine)

The examples are probably squiggie, but it illustrates the point well enough.
