I was just a kid when this came out and became a fan as I got older. You should watch it. It's better than most of what passes for comedy these days.

Jeremy

The individualists you speak of follow a "Libertarian" belief of Libertarian Socialism. Essentially it is an idea that one needs no government or money and the everyone will live together based on doiing favors for each other. It presumes kind of collective where everyone alows each other to be free. Noam Chomsky mentions it in an attempt to discredit "American" Libertarianism which supports capitalist free markets.

For me there is no such thing as an individualist that does not want to limit the government to only those things we absolutely need the government to be involved in. "Individualism" is a uniquely conservative philosophy and one that is anethma to the leftists. This is why the Fascist and Communist socialists despise it so.

But I could be deluding myself. Who knows?

[...] Jeremy Boreing writes in the conclusion of his post: “Our Founding Fathers were unique in that they knew their limitations. They didn’t subscribe to the lie that they and all of the rest of mankind were good, but rather took a firm look at the reality of their limitations and sought to create a form of government that considered and could respond to their flaws. It is a form of government that constrains man’s ambition, puts checks on his power over others, but that removes the constraints on man’s potential for growth and self-improvement, and self-betterment both philosophical and financial. It is a form of government that, as has been often said, unlocks the human potential in unimaginable ways, and creates an environment where one man pursuing his own interests can create waves that cause all of the ships on the ocean to rise with him. We ignore their wisdom and self-honesty, and our true nature, at our own risk, for self-governance and self-betterment are not possible for people who do not know themselves truly.” From “lessons from the movies….”.
