Collectivism denies all rights to the individual and assigns all rights to the collective, or group. What is your problem with the first paragraph?

Is individualism really better? Many say that, but first of all you have to decide where you stand on the issue. What do you really believe and why. Many societies are not indiivdualist, including ones that are very successful.
