And the winner is…the Fabian Society (1884-present) which developed Democratic Socialism – a gradualist approach of taking over all world governments slowly – a little bit at a time. In America, they have infiltrated Education k through grad school, Military – all branches, Religions – see above, Legislatures – State and Federal, Judicial – advocacy of no bail, no jails, and defund the police, Elections – will voting matter in 2022 or 2024 or will the results be predetermined?

Jeff d I think you may have it right

Excellent observation! If one considers the effort each member makes to perfect their craft, then they are all shining examples of Individualism. The pope needs a new way to sell his altruism.

The key phrase there is "voluntary joining" - great breakdown to the individual in an orchestra!

The main problem in convincing people that Individualism is preferable to Collectivism lies deep in the human psyche. Humans begin asking questions in childhood. Why am I here? Why is the sky blue? Who is God? The answers for most adults on Earth can be found in the traditions, myths, and customs of their parent’s religion. Children are totally dependent on their parents and extended family for their very survival. They grow up believing what they are taught is absolute truth. Collectivist religions, Collectivist governments and societies have been the dominate way of life for the majority of time that humans have existed.

Individualism is a newcomer having been practiced by Americans for around 230 years. I would like to offer a simple solution. I don’t have one. The ideas of John Locke, Americas’ founding fathers, and Ayn Rand in favor of Individualism seem so obviously true that I cannot understand why they have not been embraced worldwide.
