What are the proposed alternatives to individualism? Collectivism? No thanks. I've seen what that does to the human spirit.

I'd rather take an extremely individualist culture and then fill in the gaps with taxation and some level of wealth redistribution.

Individualism and collectivism are opposites, not simply alternatives.

Alternative to individualism is everything that is not based on individualism alone.

For example every social democracy out there the majority of which you can find in Europe.

We live in countries where we are individuals with rights but also we have to let go some of that individualism because the good of the many overrides the individual rights.

It's not very hard actually.
