i just wanted to try to understand. I do not mean to spam you or anything like that either.
i know that when you say left and right you are not referencing democrats and republicans like the mainstream media does but that you are referencing collectivism and individualism and I know that you disagree with people forcing their believes onto you which I agree with also. I just like to believe in balance and opposites. matter has antimatter, up has down, and left has right. and that with everything good has bad. the negative and evil side of collectivism should not be used ever but you really have only focused on the evil.
collectivism's definition is :the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it.
Individualism's definition is:a social theory favoring freedom of action for individuals over collective or state control.
There are bad types of collectivism like communism and socialism in some ways but can't an individual possess the want to put the group or our country ahead of the people and make it better.
all i am saying is wouldn't it be better to try to encompass the positives of both things. Now it is good to be completely free and an independent individual who is not influenced by those who use collectivism. but without some form of collectivism, change and progress would be slowed. the only problem with collectivism in my opinion is trying to get the best form of it out and not the form that forces change but instead encourages it. my opinion is that people can still be completely independent but still use some form of collectivism for the better of society of themselves.
