What is individualism and why do we need to fight it? Individualism is a concept derived from the Christian belief of the 'soul'. The concept of the soul divided humans into separate units that are separately judged by God for their actions and deeds as opposed to being judged by any collective structure like a family, tribe, nationality etc. It atomises people and makes them think only of themselves as being responsible for their actions and severs the link that they previously innately had with their communities.

Two members of our syndicate wanted to make their thoughts known about this topic as such we are publishing two blogposts from each author. Enjoy part 1 below:   Love Your Nation Leftists in America are in a unique position. Our very name is used as derogatory buzzword. Our country is the very center of the capitalist ideology, which has infested, abused, and disfigured our country for centuries. Our government has been at the forefront of silencing leftist movements across the world, and destroying real democracies. It is therefore obvious why many leftists hate us, and hate our past. It is obvious why many of us hate our country as well. This however, is detrimental to our movement.  Through this hate many fall into the traps ...
