Collectivism Versus Individualism

Which is right?  Collectivism or individualism?  The question itself is too simple. In what realm?  Each individual would have to be educated: each child. 


We are individuals. We have individual consciousnesses. That is what comprises any group conscience. Every group is comprised of individuals. 


So do you mean individually or as a society?  To create collectivism in a society, you have to educate each individual child in love or goodness or empathy or compassion (wherever the conventional words for good are).  That is the only way to create a compassionate society.   You cannot force it.


If you are talking about turning the world upside down and putting the ground in the sky and the sky at the ground, you might think that politics and police are the way to imbue collectivism.  This is not only theft and murder—wrong—but also fails every single time; and leads to destitution materially and spirituality. And totalitarianism. And it doesn’t make people more compassionate. In fact, it makes people more rude and violent


It’s right to teach collectivism individually—but not politically. Children should be educated to be caring and cooperative people. That will evolve into a spiritually and materially more prosperous society. A better world. 


Am empathetic education individually will make better, happier people and a better world. Teaching collectivism politically will create a poorer world materially and collectively.  But a few will make off like bandits. A few will profit tremendously off of your natural desires; off of your weaknesses. 


Instead they teach individual toughness interpersonally and collectivism politically.  This created a barbaric workd. Which becomes normalized generation to generation. 


Somehow the pirates have mated self interest with political collectivism philosophically. They have promised you money or sex or power. They developed philosophies and economics and sociologies around it. I think you could call it justice. 


Justice is reserved for the few who murder, rape or steal. And perhaps a few variations of this—not a general education and general mentality. That will create a violent society. And will precipitate general gangsterism and destitution of the spirit. And the material works. It will inevitably devolve into tribalism or totalitarianism. 


What people really mean by justice is I want your money. Or more sex. Or more power. So some will actually pay you for your vote somehow. And profiteer off if you. They might give you money or sex. But what gives you more money or sex in the short run actually takes money and sex and power away from you in the long run. 


Power is a hot topic. The mist power you can have is self-reliance. And community based in educated children who have grown up to care about each other. Not government power. Government power is power over someone—not empowerment. Which is power over your own life. Government power is really violence and institutionalization or prison. You want to minimize government power; And not look first to government to solve your problems. You want to look to yourself—And perhaps your voluntary community—To solve problems. 


Conventional self- reliance and autonomy gives you the most power and money and sex or live in the long run. And leads to the most philanthropy and compassion in any society.  Conventional collectivism—top down redistribution of material goods (money)—lets you get away with robbery but you are stealing from yourself in the long run. 


Achtung: It is a tell tale indicator that anyone who manufactures problems or changes information is not a philanthropist. Or even desires justice or equality. But wants to pirate your auro. Your lifeblood. But they are counting on you never knowing that the information you have is a lie or series of lies. You probably have been brainwashed to some or a great extent. Or you just like getting what you call or really think is “yours.”
