which are you? personally i'm an individualist, even if that means the inequality of wealth and oppression of the strong by the weak.
collecto-individualism (i dont see why u cant have both), but u realise there are like 3 other posts, pretty much asking the same exact question, in the politics forum, right? ::in a COMPLETELY non-condescending tone::
I'll just say collectivism works best when it's voluntary and not dictated by the gov't. " The policy met with significant political resistance (especially when people were forced into rural communes) and little economic success. Nearly 10 million peasants were moved and many were effectively forced to give up their land. The idea of collective farming was less than attractive to many peasants. A large number found themselves worse off. Productivity went down." http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/30/078.html
Depends on what you mean by "collectivism" and "individualism". I support an economy based on healthy, collective lines, and I encourage people to embrace themselves and others as individuals, not as robots working for their bosses (like people do in class societies). I want a classless society. Basically, that means I don't want any social or economic opression by a group, over another. I want to end exploitation of man, by man. I want people to be free and happy. I want people to look at whoever on this earth and say "I'm an individual, but at the same time, this man is my equal". I want people to develop a healthy lifestyle, without worries, where they can discover their superior skills in some field, may it be chess, golf or wrestling. No one want to look on a person and think "hey, this guy is going to exploit me, watch out!". That's fear of exploitation, and it is not healthy. A society based on fear and exploitation, is dictorial, evil and wicked.
