Collectives are fundamental to human society and always have been. Even hunter gatherers lived and still live in communities. These pre-date the "free market" (no idea why you introduce this) and will outlive it.
Certainly, there is room for individuals, but individualism as you describe it is always the exception.
- WalterBright 6y agoI did not say or describe individualism. I said that people organize and cooperate out of self-interest, and that's what a free market relies on. > Collectives are fundamental to human society and always have been. Even hunter gatherers lived and still live in communities. Communities, sure. Collectives, not so sure.
