Individualists and collectivists have ideas that exist in perfectly terrible harmony. Individualists believe in the importance of the individual, and that the individual's ideas should be given more merit by the state. Individualists firmly fight for independence and reliance on oneself. Collectivists, on the other hand, stress the importance of working as a group, interacting with groups, changing your mindset to fit the group, and cooperate as much as possible with the group.


Which mindset is more fitting for communism or capitalism? Well, the idea of capitalism is for the people to vote a president, who can only pass laws approved by the senate. This is more fitting for the Collectivist outlook. Communism, on the other hand, is more like Individualism. This might seem weird, and that's because it is. The idea of communism is for everyone to get their fair share in life, but in reality, it doesn't work like that. Rusia's average standard of living is a good bit lower than the U.S.A' s, and the country is all currently in control of one man, Vladmir Putin, who is using his power to attempt to invade Ukraine. It can be hard to find the advantages that Individualism and collectivism have over each other, so we should look to which countries practice which, and whether they have a good economy.
