Balance btwn individualism & collectivism


As soon as there are 2 or more people living in the same area,
individualism & collectivism must be equally balanced.
If we allow excessive collectivism to outweigh,
we get statist (big-government) disasters like:
Communism, Nazism, Socialism, Fascism, Imperial-State-Shintō,
& North-Korean-Juche.
If we let extreme individualism outweigh,
we get anarchy, disorder, chaos, looting, lawlessness, & riots.
Think of it as voluntary compliance with reasonable traffic regulations
for the sake of smooth-travel,
vs. the extremes of:
no traffic lights/signs whatsoever,
or
police-brutality & cruel-&-unusual-punishments for minor misjudgments.  
A perfect balance between individualism & collectivism is a must
for a healthy, peaceful, HAPPY society.
