Abstract

Surrendering one’s integrity for the greater good doesn’t work. It’s like appeasement. It never works. That’s because the ‘greater good’ is not the end result of collective action, but rather it is the result of the sum of individual actions.

Collectivism is a cop-out. When practised in liberal democracies, which are built on a tradition of individual responsibility, collectivism becomes an excuse for groupthink. Socialism requires every member to be united with the party’s agenda.
