Why Collectivism Is A Bad Thing, Even In Times Of Crisis

The vast majority of war, conflict, and killing in the world is caused by collectivism, of a religious (crusades, jihads, etc.), political (conquest, wars on terror, nationalism) ideological (revolutionary communism, ethnic cleansing, "spreading democracy"), or cultural (apartheid resistance, antisemitism, etc.) nature.

I am confident in my opinion that collectivism causes more problems and crises than it solves, and see no evidence for the claim that individuals could not congregate as effectively, if not more, effectively, than the collective.

There are of course exceptions, such as Japan, but even that only applies to natural disasters. They still have been able to do almost nothing about their four most pressing issues: their high suicide rate, their obscenely high debt-to-GDP ratio, their rapidly aging mean population, & their lazy and rebellious younger generation.

Seeing as how Japan is considered the most collectivist society in the world, it demonstrates quite effectively how ill-equipped collectivist cultures are for handing most crises.
