Individualism means that in an election, husband and wife are allowed to vote for opposing candidates. So in the end, each candidate gets the same number of votes.

"A society like ours, which professes no one religion and has allowed all religions to decay, which indulges freedom to the point of license and individualism to the point of anarchy, needs all the support that responsible, cultivated homes can furnish. I hope your generation will provide a firmer shelter for civilized standards."

~Alan Simpson, Commencement address at Vassar, 31 May 65.

Anarchy is, above all, individualistic - even socialist anrchy (e.g., syndicalism) and it can only exist in responsible, cultivated homes.


We are building the new society in the empty building lots of the old
