collectivism vs individualism

I never tried to explain to myself whats really the difference here and why i hate any form of socialism? following my discovery of emotion suppression, i was able to answer it easily.

Collectivism expects a bunch of people to share the same cultural code, feel the same, talk the same. If you are not is the same you are a traitor. collectivism literlly forces you to suppress emotions and "fit in" instead of developing your own path, which, as we know, would suppress and alter perception and anything unusual or interesting is completely ignored. This is true for many group of people that have to be together: from countries to corporations, but effects are strikingly similar.

Effects are quite telling: collectivistic organizations can't produce anything new and ends up rotting.

Look around: can Disney produce something new outside of pricess-verse where each story is almost the same? why Expedition 33 can't be built by ubisoft? why apple can't innovate anymore? why USSR needed a prosche engine for mass manufactured cars?

Every single time a member of a hivemind would ask itself "what is normal thing to do". Should we put unrelated LGBT scene to the tv show? sure we have done this for decade. Should we make a thinner phone? Sure we were shrinking everything every year for two decades. If you is in collective - how you can stand up and say "this all is shit we need to do something different" - it is almost impossible if you don't have a power. But people in power would have stable income for years doing nothing, why would they risk?

Whats differrent in individualism? i was wrongly making distinction that individualism is where everyone is isolated, but this is not actually true. Individualism == different cultular code + collaboration. No one suppresses anything, but just learns about people around or navigates alongside, instead of trying to shape people around. Each person is different, not shaped to fit. Thats how new ideas are made - you cant fit everything to a single brain, you collaborate. You share. You melt thoughts together and get a (much) better result.

It is very natural to fall into collectivism, it is just natural - many people think it is for the best, that's what word "team" means. In fact you have to fight it at every possible way.

On personal level it is very easy to fall to the comfort of echo chamber or start to shape people around you instead of collaborating (both are form of emotion suppression on both sides). On team level - you should bust and empower everyone to avoid "simply following orders", emerging of fake leaders, etc. On organization level you must non-stop say that you must innovate every single second above everything, no matter what you will say - people would be still slower and lean to tribalize everything. On country level - you must fight for the most distributed governments as you can. Taxes should be local. Laws should be very local people dependent. That's the only way to prosperity. You know, only one country is designed like this.

I think i have uncovered some hidden wisdom that people here, in US, have. May be that's why i was mad when i was "forced" to do something, since i expected my ideas to be accepted as is. i started to talk thought and listen team mates, i am no longer mad. I thought that if i am offloading some decisions - this means that i am just doing less, less responsible, being less valuable, which is clearly not true.

Common culture code is overrated.
